starting apps in batch file

[John Gennaro]

I'm trying to write a batch file to start six small apps
on a Win2Ksp3 server after the backup is finished. The
first app starts and the batch file hangs. If I manually
close the app that just started, the batch file continues
to the next line and hangs after launching that app. If I
run the same six lines manually from a Dos prompt it works
fine. Is there a command which can be added to a batch
file to tell it not to wait for a reply from an app that
it has started?

Use START

start "C:\Program Files\Program\file.exe"
start "C:\Program Files\Other Program\file.exe"

Try start /?
