Running .do file from Windows command line

[Mason Pierce]

Hi,
I am getting frustrated by what seems to be a simple problem: I can't seem to get a .do file on my desktop to run from the command prompt in Windows. Whenever I call on the .do file, it simply opens it up in the Stata .do file editor instead of executing...is there a way to execute instead?
Thanks!

Change doedit --> to --> do in Windows file associations (use regedit).

For future reference, using Linux and STATA 17, to run a .do file from the command line just call `stata [DO_FILE]` (`stata` is not to be confused with `xstata`).
