As everyone has one... I throw my opinion in to the mix too. I like having a the bat file. In fact, I'm almost surprised Glenn is not doing it too, knowing how he's spoken in the past about creating bats for all your scripts.

Otherwise you are typing, or dragging and dropping to the run console, or logging off and back in.
