Batch File how to run all files in folder

Question

I am trying to find a batch file command that will allow me to run all .lnk or .html files with in a folder. I tried using the wildcards (*.lnk) but this wouldn't work. Any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Based upon further comments, this should help - you don't need recursion to process a single folder, and this will handle long filenames.

```
@echo off
for %%v in ("C:\Users\username\Desktop\Test\*.lnk") do start "" "%%~v"
```

It will open every .lnk file in the folder.
