open any .bat file with the help of excel button

Hi ,
can anyone help me making a button in excel at the click of which a file named "A.bat" will automatically open stored at the desktop.
Please note this file is not an xls file.
I want to open that file through excel because i want to hide the information of that file while opening it, i just want to show the contents of that file.

Regards
Ruth
