running a batch file from Windows?

I wrote a simple batch file to combine several files in a directory into one file (copy /b file_1 + file_2...) where file_1, etc. are video files. I then placed the batch file in all the directories I want to use it in.

It works perfectly if I open a command prompt, navigate to the directory and run it. But it would be much quicker if I could do it from the Windows file manager. I navigate to the directory, right click on the batch file, select run as administrator and while I don't get an error message it does not work. Is there a trick to this? Is it even possible to run a batch file from the Windows environment?
