    So like when you open notepad from the start menu, it will already have @echo off already typed? lol, you must program batch files a lot to need this....
    I don't think there is a way but it isn't really a hassle to have to type @echo off, is it?

      1.)   Make a text file,  containing that one line
                @echo off.       Name it  temp.txt

      2.)   At the command line,  type      notepad temp.txt  
             and Notepad with start, with that file opened.

      3.)   Add whatever text you want.

      4.)   Save with  Save As ,   not  Save



      Btw, if you are doing much work at the command line,  instead of fooling around with the Windows editor,  i.e. Notepad ,   why not just use     Edit    ?      That way you are not having to flip back and forth with windows.
