How to Add Windows Batch File to New Context Menu in Windows 10
A .bat file is a batch file that consists of a series of commands to be executed by the command line interpreter, stored in a plain text file.
The New context menu allows users to quickly create new files, folders, and shortcuts. You can right click or press and hold on your desktop or in any folder window, and click/tap on New to open the New context menu.
By default, Windows Batch File is not in the New click context menu. Adding "Windows Batch File" to the New context menu will make it easy for users to be able to quickly create a new batch file on demand ready to be edited afterwards.
This tutorial will show you how to add or remove Windows Batch File to the New context menu for all users in Windows 10.
You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to add or remove "Windows Batch File" from the New context menu.
