   Then you also should use the %temp% directory to create   
   the vbs file as it was done in the original post (I prefer   
   a different order scheme for my files).

   In the properties of the link you can also specify the window position.   
   If you also use it to specify the window size and color, you have to remove   
      
   MODE CON: COLS=50 LINES=10    -> sets the size of the window to 50x10   
   color f0                      -> sets the color of the window to black on white   
      
   from the batch code.
