In a job you can run an operating system command.

What you have there should work if xp_cmdshell is enabled, the user running the command has permission to execute it and the file is on the server in that path.

try
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'dir C:\Users\echepeleutser\Desktop\arhiv\a.bat'

I suspect this will run under the sql server service account (if you are sa) and that doesn't have access to this folder?

Why are you setting the transaction isolation level? What do you expect that to do?

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

you can define a proxy account giving it required permissions and then configure it to execute xp_cmdshell
