Is the problem that you don't see output from del2pas.bat? or is it not executed at all (and how do you know this)?
If the problem is the first, that may be so because in a .lnk you specify that the file needs a console, and just running the .bat ma prevent it frome getting a console? Put in your del2pas.bat a line like starts a GUI program like notepad.exe and see if it is launched, that would tell you definitely if the problem is having assigned a console or not.
