title: Windows Shortcut to Run Python Script in Anaconda Command Prompt
body: <p>In order to make it simpler for a user to launch a Python script (from within a virtualenv environment running through an Anaconda Command Prompt), it is decided to create a Windows shortcut to achieve this in one double click.</p>
  
  <p>The current link to open the Anaconda Command Prompt with a virtualenv loaded is</p>
  
  <pre><code>%windir%\system32\cmd.exe "/K" C:\Users\x\Anaconda2\Scripts\activate.bat C:\Users\x\Anaconda2\envs\myEnv
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can we extend this shortcut to also run a Python script?</p>
