Can I launch a GUI directly from a folder?

I'm trying to avoid making the user start MATLAB and then run the GUI, it would be most convenient if the user could simply activate an icon in a folder, similar to an executable. Can it be done?

If you are using Windows, you can create a .bat file that would launch MATLAB and immediately run a MATLAB script that would change to the appropriate directory and then start the GUI.
The .bat file should contain:
matlab -r myscript
Make sure that myscript.m is located in a directory that is on the MATLAB path.
For more information:
docsearch matlab

Could you please explain how to create the .bat file. I am trying everything here as part of my final year project to do the same thing as above but can find no help.
Thank you
