Batch File to Open URL

Today I am glad to introduce this short post that should give the answer to a short user's question. The question was "How to open URL via batch file?".

Fortunately, to open URL with the default system browser, you should do almost nothing. The sequence of action looks like this:

1) Start Dr.Batcher and create a new batch script;
2) Switch to Simple mode;
3) Add a new command named "Start a Separate Command Promt" (START);
4) Change the value of parameter 'Command or program to start" to your URL surrounded with commas (for example, "http://www.drbatcher.com");
5) Set other needful parameters;
6) Add more URLs if necessary;
7) Enjoy!
