You make the shortcut point to the .bat file like mymod.bat or stainlesssteel.bat. I use the browse button to find the .bat file and in the name screen usually name it after the mod without the .bat extension. Hope this helps.

Let's back up a couple, please. Are you using mymod for a mod folder? If you are, in the default C:\Sega\Medieval II Total War, there is on top a bunch of folders like data, logs, etc. Down below it is all the file this game needs to start. For the mymod folder, you will find a file named mymod.bat. All mod folder and modname.bat files are the same, just change the name.
