is it possible to convert done.bat to done.exe add in icon?

Hi Jamesfui,

In my few years of experience with batch file creation, I have been converting batches to executables, and I use a very good little program called "BAT2EXE". I find it really useful. I can add icons, Make the main executable and include other files to strap to it, and add 'additional information (things such as version and copyrights)'.

I have not, though, heard of a batch that will do this.

Sorry If this doesn't answer your question, and if so good luck and I hope you do get the one you are looking for.

I'm sorry- what do you mean by internal commands?

If you mean through command line, you can get BAT2EXE command line version...

Will keep an eye on this string.
