Creating a cmd line shortcut

I am completely new to Windows, as i am an OSX user.

I am having to run a task in the cmd line every day, is there any way i can create a shortcut on my desktop which automates this?

Task example, open cmd, then execute:

atomInstaller npm -view -Xmx8g -Xms3g

Thanks

You can use shortcutjs.bat:

call shortcutjs.bat -linkfile "%userprofile%\desktop\atominstaller.lnk" -target "C:\atomInstaller.bat" -adminpermissions yes -iconlocation "C:\Windows\System32\compstui.dll,3" -hotkey "Ctrl+Shift+M"

Here's the usage:

shortcutjs.bat -linkfile link -target target [-linkarguments linkarguments]   [-description description] [-iconlocation iconlocation] [-hotkey hotkey]  [-windowstyle 1|3|7] [-workingdirectory workingdirectory] [-adminpermissions yes|no]

You can add additional parameter with -linkarguments or start location with -workingdirectory

You could just make a shortcut to cmd.exe and add command line switches:

Or you can put commands into a batch file using notepad ( or a better text editor ):

@echo off
atomInstaller npm -view -Xmx8g -Xms3g

save it as npm.bat then double-click it..
