    hi. does anyone know if there's a way to add a windows batch file to my dock? i'd like to be able to run a .bat file in coherence mode with a simple click.
    thx in advance,

    to answer my own question

    just fyi: i was able to get this to work.
    first i made a copy of the 'Windows Command Processor' application in my 'Windows Applications' folder under Parallels.
    then i did a show package contents on the copied application and navigated to Contents:Resources. i edited AppParams.pva in TextEdit and changed the App Path to c:\mybatchfile.bat. it worked, although the batch file didn't exit completely. i had to manually quit it from my dock.
    hope this helps someone...
