This nailed it: way easier than all the alternatives involving VB scripts, registry keys and Group Policy Editors.

  1. Create a shortcut to your batch file.
  2. Get into shortcut property and change target to something like: cmd.exe /C "path-to-your-batch".
  3. Simply drag your new shortcut to the taskbar
