What exactly does this line of batch code ? :

for %%a in (*) do start "" "%%a"


I don't recommend to use.

It launches EVERY file and folder in the current directory.
I.e. it runs every executable or script files, opens every other file in its respective app and opens an explorer window for every folder.

A little trick to identify what a loop actually does is to insert the word "echo" after "do". This will print out each command instead of executing it:

--- ---for %%a in (*) do echo start "" "%%a"
Hope that helps!
