With argument variables the contents of you batchFile.bat would be:

@echo off
C:\Users\me\Desktop\myfile.exe %1 %2

or with fixed arguments:

@echo off
C:\Users\me\Desktop\myfile.exe <firstArg> <secondArg>

Your batch file:

C:\Users\me\Desktop\myfile.exe %1 %2

Then you can call your batch file:

mybatchfile.bat <firstArg> <secondArg>

Also, you can use %* to pass all parameters rather than specifying each parameter.

Just add the exact command you are executing from command line to .bat file. Change working directory first if necessary.

cd C:\Users\me\Desktop
myfile.exe <firstArg> <secondArg>
