Uploading Lots of ICS Files to Google Calendar

I found a great tool for this at: http://gcalicsimporter.codeplex.com/releases/view/34662#ReviewsAnchor

To make it easier to use I created a batch file, which you can also try out. Leave a comment if you liked it!

In the directory you extracted the zip file, create a new file called "upload-to-google-calendar.bat"

Edit the file and paste in the following code, then save the file and double click it:
