>The above two lines should not be edited<<<-Īll lines starting with :Item_ and their number (in my example 1 to 6) is where you enter the path and executable name of the application to be opened. IF '%x%' = '%x%' GOTO Item_%x% – statement that determines what number in the list you chose and to go to the line (GOTO) that will open the application. Set /p x=Pick: – set the variable name x=Pick that is used in the next line You should edited these lines with the names of the applications you want displayed.
