Windows – Pass shortcut arguments in .bat (batch)

In a .exe shortcut, I can use extra arguments. But how to pass those arguments in a .bat file?

Solution:

To pass argument to bat or cmd file – you just run script with parameters, like this:

script.cmd parameter1 parameter2

Inside script – if you pass arguments – you will have %1 %2 %3 special variables available, and you can use them like this

echo First argument is %1echo Second argument is %2echo Starting application with argumentsapplication.exe %1 %2

EDIT / added later after discussion in comments.

To replace shortcut with command line file (cmd or bat) – create .bat or .cmd file like this:

"C:Some LocationSome application.exe" argument1 argument2
