At the simplest, assuming standard Windows installation
1) open notepad
2) type "start calc" (without the quotes)
3) save the file with a name of your choice ending in .bat, and save it in the location of your choice.

You shouldn't need a batch file. Just create a shortcut. Start-->Search and choose Files or folders and search for calc.exe. When found, right-click and hit Create Shortcut, and tell it you want to place it on the desktop.

We would need to know which operating system and which calculator program to be able to help.
