Why is Minecraft not launching from my batch file?
So I'm having this problem where I'm trying to start Minecraft from a batch file, but everytime I run it, it gives me this error message, "Windows cannot find 'minecraft.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again." but what's bothering me is that it has worked fine on my Windows 7 computer.
Here's the code that I used to start Minecraft:
if %input3% == 1 start minecraft.exe
My specs: Windows 8.1, 64-bit, 8GB RAM, 1TB hardrive.
Any help would be great!!

This batch file requires that minecraft.exe be in the %PATH% environment variable, or more likely, in the exact same location as your minecraft.exe file is at. Chances are you wanted to tidy things up and put minecraft elsewhere and have this batch file on your desktop or the like.
