BatToExe (In case I forget)

 Turn a bat file into exe and embed an icon.

Download this . . .
This is stand alone program so nothing installs.

Make a bat file. Here are a couple examples:

(To access a local folder)
@ECHO OFF 
start "" "%userprofile%\Pictures\Gimp Work"

or

(To open a web site)
@ECHO OFF 
start "" https://www.dropbox.com/h

Find an image you want to attach. 
Probably remove the background. 
Run it through icon software like Greenfish.
Attach this .ico file in BatToExe and convert.
