Have you tried this?
///C|/filename.bat
Not sure if it works but it's in my location when I run a local file. Hope this helps.

The syntax to link to a local file is:

run batch file

The only glitch is that the browser will pop up a window asking whether the user wants to run the file from its present location or to download it. To run it, the user must select the run option.

I hope this helps.

If you are going to use in html then use the tag to specify the source it will take care. If you want to create a shortcut on the desktop then create the shorcut when it asks u to choose the file then choose the exact location of the batch file.

Hope this helps
