start multiple exe in windows xp batch file

#1 Post by jwsnl » 07 Aug 2008 00:09

hi all,

please think with me about the following:

instead of loading all kinds of exe's and services i want my computer to run a batch file during startup asking me what services to start at the end of the boot cyclus so i'm able to load just these services that i actually need.

the questioning and timing is solved the challange i face now is to start all required exe's from 1 batch file.

for example when i'm offline i want fisrt my vodafone application to load and afterwards to load a secure client, further i want to be able to do or not start an application to mount a webbased drive and perform some other mapping on my actual needs and beings at that moment.

I found the ' start' command instead of the 'call' command but now all diffrent windows are opened once the service is started


thanks for your comments,

Jan-Willem
