   find-non-mp3s.bat   
   compile-tcc.bat   
   cmp.bat   
   killbaks.bat (although if I had to type it out, it'd probably be 'kbk.bat')

   Just like anything else in the GUI, double-click it, or select it and press   
   Enter. The batch is run from the directory it's in, unless you make a .lnk   
   (or .pif) with a different "Start in" directory.   
      
   - 'find-non-mp3s.bat' was run in the top level of my Music directory   
   - 'compile-tcc.bat' is run in whatever dir contains C files I need compiled   
   - 'cmp.bat' is for a game mod I was working on, a long time ago   
   - a copy of 'killbaks.bat' exists in every directory I have where .bak files   
     are regularly created that I don't want to save
