# Execute

![notion image](https://docs.xeox.com/media/651f0414674368b3.png)

With **”Execute”** you can execute a bat or exe file on the client. The file can be:

- downloaded before
- already be in the system
- a Windows system function

By clicking **Specify working directory** the command prompt will be seperated in different sections**, Working Directory, Executable, Arguments,** that way user can decide between typing a whole command prompt or just adding the needed parts into the fields.

## About URL and Paths

> **If a user doesn’t explicitly enter a destination path:** An automation ran on a device will create a work folder C:\\Program Files\\XEOX . There, seperated by ID will be the data of the jobs. If no destination path is stated, files will be stored here.
