I created an iso disc with some documents, I gave it a name Apple CD.iso and in the qemu bat file I added as in the instructions "-drive file=Apple CD.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom". Not only that it does not appear on the desktop, but the qemu...bat does not even start (just a flick of a DOS screen and then nothing.

If you use spaces in a filename, you have to use " " around that filename for Qemu to understand it.
Please try to rename your Apple CD.iso to AppleCD.iso. Then change the command line and try again.
Best,

Under Windows, I have never had a single problem with any of the QEMU builds over the last 2 years with filenames containing spaces. My command looks like this and it works perfectly fine under Windows 7 64-bits: -drive "file=Mac OS 9.2.2 Universal Install (2002).iso,format=raw,media=cdrom" -drive "file=Mac OS 9.2.2 for QEMU (2GB).dsk,format=raw,media=disk"
@mrpatras Make sure that the ISO file you created is not a DMG, make sure it's a straight, uncompressed HFS+ or HFS ISO. Also make sure that every quote in your .bat file are all like this " and not two single quotes like this ' and not french quotes like this « (Mac OS X TextEdit does that by default under some languages). Obviously, make sure that your ISO file is not currently opened in another app when running your batch file, but the fact that the window briefly pops up and disappears usually means there's an invalid character in it, so check every character, you must have a mistake in the command. Use my batch file on MR to start with and simply change your ISO filename in place in my batch file so that way you know all the rest is correct.
