How To Run A Batch File From The Command Line On Windows

If you need to run the batch file as an administrator, see this method instead.

If the batch file is on your desktop, type cd \Users\YourLoginName\Desktop. If it’s in your downloads folder, type cd \Users\YourLoginName\Downloads. If you don’t know what your login name is, type cd \Users and press ↵ Enter to go to the Users folder, and then type dir and press ↵ Enter to see a list of logins.

If you don’t know the name, type dir and press ↵ Enter to view the files in the folder. You’ll find it there.
