title: How to Create a Simple To Do Script on Windows
body: <p>I built simple todo script that adds a text file to desktop for every todo item. <strong>I need help to simplify the process of launching this script:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Step 1) Create todo.bat file on Desktop, with the following command</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>echo.>%1.txt</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Step 2) Right-click on Desktop > Open Command Window here</p>
  
  <p>Step 3) Type:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>todo remember-the-milk</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Step 4) Exit Command Line</p>
  
  <p>Step 5) Notice that Desktop now contains</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>remember-the-milk.txt</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am running Windows 8.1, and I used a batch file to make this script work, but I'm open to suggestions. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
  
  <p>P.S. Zach Holman from GitHub was able to accomplish this script using UNIX. See: <a href="http://zachholman.com/posts/inbox-zero-everything-zero/" rel="nofollow">http://zachholman.com/posts/inbox-zero-everything-zero/</a></p>
