After converting a batch file to an executive file does the file still follow the same rules?

Question

If a batch file contained the text (Taskkill /im process) you would have to have the "Taskkill.exe" file in the system32 folder in order for this batch file to work.If you take that batch file and use a "bat to exe. converter" on it you now have an executive file that performs the same task,but what happens if you no longer have the "taskkill.exe"file,will the exe. file work? What im asking is does the exe. file created from the batch file read from the system32 folder also. Thanks in advance

A pretty good question. Normally when you are converting any file to exe then the compiler would give you a warning if it is not able to convert. Since you have not got any errors it means that the exe has been sucessfully been created. But your question still persists in my mind. Because suppose the compiler has considered the taskkill/im as an external command like 'C' sytem command then it the definetly the exe file so created would read from the system32 folder and executes the taskkill.exe. On the other hand if it not so then the whole taskkill.exe would have been enclosed in the exe file you have created and thus make it free from using the external file and if that is the case you do not require the file available in the system32 folder but your exe file would do the job for you. Therefore I would suggest you to rename the system32 taskkill.exe to some other name and run your exe file and this will confirm your question with the right answer.
