I would like to launch multiple programs from a command prompt script (in
Windows XP Home Edition). For example, I have three instant messenger
programs and want to launch them all from a script called im.bat.
So I put the following three lines into IM.bat, but launching it this way,
the script will not execute the second line until the first program is
closed.
"C:\Program Files\AIM\aim.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\YPager.exe"
"C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe"
I tried putting start at the beginning of each line, but with that variant,
none of the three programs executed.
What needs to be done to fix this script?
