Using Windows 7 64 Bit pro I am trying to create a desktop shortcut to open a Command prompt window that opens and runs a file in C:/ called SimpleTimer.EXE

My DOS commands knowledge has faded and I am struggling with this, could someone kindly have a look at this screen shot and suggest where I am going wrong please? Thanks

Better to do it as a batch file rather than all in a shortcut


Right click desktop - create new Text Document, rename to SimpleTimer.bat

Edit it to say:
cd C:\
SimpleTimer.exe
