Answer 1

You should do the following:

• Open a command line interpreter window of Windows OS (cmd.exe)
• Find the exact location of the IDA executable that you are usually running (should be idaq.exe in modern versions, you can check the exact name in desktop shortcut by examining its properties)
• Run it from the comma nd line interpreter window (paste the IDA executable full name, surround it with quotes) with -B command line switch. You'll have something like this: "c:\Program Files (x86)\IDA 6.95\idaq.exe" -B {full path to the file you want to analyze}
• After running this command you should see the idb and assembly file in the same directory where your executable that you tried to analyze resides. Please note that you should run it on behalf of user that has write access permission for the folder where it resides. In addition you need to use appropriate IDA version: if the analyzed executable has 64 bit instruction set you have to use idaq64 executable.

Here is how it works (and worked always) on my computer with IDA 6.95 (I analyzing 64 bit object file test.o, and corresponding ida database extension is not idb, but i64):

C:\Users\[censored]\Downloads\idatest>copy z:\test.o .\
        1 file(s) copied.

C:\Users\[censored]\Downloads\idatest>"c:\Program Files (x86)\IDA 6.95\idaq64.exe" -B .\test.o

C:\Users\[censored]\Downloads\idatest>dir
 Volume in drive C is OSDisk

Let me know in comments if something doesn't work. Btw, help on command line switches is here.
