Procedure to batch load shapefiles on window pc

I have often many shapefiles to load on postgres/postgis.
Even 50, 100 shapefile every time.
So I will need a procedure to load all simply on a windows 7 machine.
This batch file is my simply but very useful solution.
Create a file named "load_shapefiles.bat" and put this code:
