and what the different between 0.9.1 and 0.9.3?
why you don't make 0.9.3 version stable realse?

thank you for this project! :]

Because there is no "Windows Binary File". It's a batch file. One good solution would be to have it create a Start Menu link with the icon. If you can code it, send a patch.

the problem is you need to run this as administrator,
except this, it is rather simple..:
xxmklink %%systemroot%%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
\Programs\TTime.lnk ttime.bat . "ttime scheduele for Technion
students" 3 ttime.ico

and you can find xxmklink in here:
http://www.xxcopy.com/download/xxmklink.zip

i just wrote it as an example, the full syntax for xxmklink is:

xxmklink spath opath [ arg [ wdir [ desc [ mode [ icon[:n] ]]]]]
[switches...]

where spath path of the shortcut (.lnk added as needed)
opath path of the object represented by the shortcut
arg argument string (use quotes with space, see below)
wdir path of the working directory (for "Start in")
desc description string (shown in Shosrtcut's
Properties)
mode display mode (1:Normal [default], 3:Maximized,
7:Minimized)
icon[:n] icon file [with optional icon index value n]

Currently, the following switches are supported

/p prompts before action
/q no output when successful (quiet)

note that if you want to do this without this freeware, the command
for it in windows (xp and newer) will be "mklink", but then i afraid
you cannot add icon.

also the directory for the start menu is different from version to
version.

good luck tal :)

You can have an .exe call system("ttime.bat").

Ugly, but has an icon.

I don't like it. The proper solution is to create an installer which will create a link.
