How to Add Windows Batch File to New Context Menu in Windows 10

   Information

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.

This tutorial will show you how to add or remove Windows Batch File to the New context menu for all users inWindows 10.
