Useful tip: Using javaw.exe instead of java.exe makes the console window that pops up go away. :>

Could anyone perhaps expand on this and make it a little bit more stepwise?

Create new text document
Paste this into it:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xms512M -Xmx8092M -jar "C:\Users\Shane\Downloads\Minecraft.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xms512M -Xmx8092M -jar "C:\Users\Shane\Downloads\Minecraft.exe"
Edit the location of your java executable file
Edit the minimum and maximum MB of RAM to use
-Tip: Do NOT use more than 1/2 of your system's RAM for your maximum. For example, My system has 16gb of RAM, so I used 8GB max
Edit the location of your minecraft executable file
Now, save the file as a batch file, for example, I named mine minecraft.bat
The only important part here is to add the .bat at the end. Now use this batch file you've just created to open minecraft!

PROTIP: minecraft only needs 256mb to run so if u limit it to 256 it will actually go abit faster and will allow you to use other programs alongside minecraft (i used to have to close minecraft to get on TeamSpeak/check dyn map or even open pinball... but now i can youtube and TS and google at same time
