I'm guessing that if you told us what start.bat contained it would be useful. Launchers usually prepare the host environment for an app and clean up afterwards if needs be.
Without knowing what start.bat does it would be difficult for someone to give you aid. Could you provide more information about what it is you are trying to do?
and again,
Welcome to PortableApps.com

I'll just assume you want start.bat to show up on the menu, right?
In that case, just grab one of the very well done batch file compilers found on the web (Google).

"assume you want start.bat to show up on the menu"
Duh !!!

I can argue with them being well done. AFAIK there's only one that actually compiles .bats..and it generates 16-bit code, so executable won't work under Vista.
All others just wrap the .bat to their executables and at runtime extract it to temp and call command prompt to interpret it.

do u mean you want the .bat to start an application or open a file???
if so then do this
You can do as many "START" as you want, just make sure the .bat is in same directory as file you want to open, if not then put the exact path of what you want to open, like C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe
Edit: Wait i think I know what you mean, If you want to know how to make a laucher for a .bat file, take a look at Johns Portable App compressor. I think it made a launcher for it.

I have a directory called OpenkorePortable, and inside I have one program. So I think the organization will be this:
\OpenkorePortable\Openkore Portable.exe (launcher)
\OpenkorePortable\App\Openkore\openkore.exe (program)
I think that this will be suficient.
that cares for registry entries of the in common non portable app, there are some templates here, you might take up the suggestions already made here or try a search on this site ´cause this has been asked here once every week. If you need help then post your code and the geeks here will surely support you. Reading the development pages might help. NSIS portable is available in the beta forum as on smithtech´s homepage.
If you have a fully portable app already, then you don´t need a launcher.
First of all,
You can keep the folder structure, create a bat file and when it´s working you can use a bat2exe converter to make an exe with the icon of your choice.Within portabeleapps menu on the root of your drive the bat should work with the following
if you put the bat ( or exe)into \OpenkorePortable\.. main folder
bat2exe can be found here(freeware):

Alternative:
use a starter as starthere with .ini, as described for opera here
