Execute Command Prompt command with double click?

Question

I'll try to explain what I intend to do. I have an encrypted drive and every time I unlock it I had to restart my laptop just to lock it again until recently I found a command line to relock the drive without restarting the system. The said command line is "manage-<g class="gr_ gr_17 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling" data-gr-id="17" id="17">bde</g> -lock DriveLetter: -<g class="gr_ gr_16 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="16" id="16">forcedismount</g>". now I want to know, is there anyway, so that I can make an executable file and then only by executing the said file, this command could run and my drive could be relocked? I hope I have conveyed what I intend to ask. 

also, I am using Windows 10. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Malik Muhammad Asad.

According to what you wrote, it looks like you're using a PowerShell cmdlet to encrypt the drive.
First of all, you should write the instruction that locks the drive into a text file and save it with the .PS1 extension; then you could create a shortcut on your desktop that executes that command by invoking powershell.exe and passing that .PS1 file as parameter.
An alternative could be converting the PowerShell file into an .EXE file: read here to know how to do that.
