exit explorer, launch program, restart explorer

[Hydropulse17]

Right now I have this:

Code: Select all

taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
start explorer.exe
exit

I would like for it to launch a program, and then when I am finished with said program, press space bar or what ever to start explorer and exit the batch. I had done this before, but it's been ages and I don't recall how to do it.

START (/WAIT) should work.

Code: Select all

@echo off
taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
start "" "C:\wherever\yourgame.exe"
pause
start explorer.exe

or

Code: Select all

@echo off
taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
start "" /wait "C:\wherever\yourgame.exe"
start explorer.exe

The latter won't work if the program is only a launcher.
