I am looking for a way to startup multiple applications with batch scripting. After the batch file has been executed it has to be closed automatically.

for example:

"C:\Program Files\Wos_Portable\wos.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe http://127.0.0.1/"

The code will run WOS and Internet Explorer, but the batch file won't shutdown until I have closed wos and iexplore.

Any idea's how to fix this?

There's something you have to put before the program name ....
Let me dig around

[mikesgroovin]

ok, found it, add:

start ""

to the beginning to make:

start "" "C:\Program Files\Wos_Portable\wos.exe"
start "" "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe http://127.0.0.1/"

Pretty sure that you have to place the

start ""

prior to each program... not 100% on that though.

[bla!!]

all you need is this

start "C:\Program Files\Wos_Portable\wos.exe"
start "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe http://127.0.0.1/"
exit

XP handles the cmd line differently than older versions of the command line... pretty sure that wont work.

When you put the "" in there all you're telling it is to use a blank title for the window. Type start /? at a command prompt and you'll see all the options.
