Enable GCC compiler C++11 flag by default on Windows

Question

I am using windows 8.1 and have installed GCC compiler on my machine. Every time I have to compile a c++ file (using c++ 11 features), on the command prompt I need to type g++ file.cpp -std=c++11. Is there a way so that I don't need to type -std=c++11 everytime? Also please note that I cannot use make files and the file will always be compiled through command line.

What Development Environment do you use? Eg.: CodeBlocks can be configured to compile c++11 by default. — Rad1, Mar 21 '14 at 09:46

You can write a batch file to invoke gcc with -std=c++11 and save it to one of your PATH directories

How can I pass arguments to a batch file?

Or you should be able to add -std=c++11 to GCC specs file to effectively change GCC's default configurations.
