I was wondering if there are any potential problems in using a windows desktop
shortcut to run a batch file which runs a python program.  Basically, I have 
a nifty little program that is useful in the office, but the people using
the program are computer-challanged and the word "DOS" sounds confusing to
them.  So, currently, I am having them double click on a batchfile which
runs:

c:\python20\python 216.py

I've had reports of the program giving error messages and etc. and that computers
had to be rebooted so that the program would work. Any ideas what the problem 
might be?  How can I avoid this?

Thanks for all your help!
