How to define a new command line program?

I'm trying to define a command line program which will automatically call a specified Nodejs application.

I want to define it like that:

mycommand newFile

And that will call this application:

node E:/nodejsApp/mycommand.js newFile

mycommand.js is ready now. I want to call it with directly mycommand command on cmd in Windows 10.

For that, create a batch file in your path (ex: C:\WINDOWS\System32) with that code: node E:\nodejsApp\mycommand.js %1

Save it as the command you want to create + the batch extension ([command].bat)

Another option will be, as aschipfl mentioned, use the doskey command creating an autorun. Note that I recommend creating the batch file, as running a command at starting of CMD will slow down his starting.

For the AutoRun, create a registry key at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor called AutoRun, type REG_MULTI_SZ and write the value of doskey mycommand=node E:\nodejsApp\mycommand.js %1
