Batch file FTW.

One sec let me get the info for ya.

Code:

C:\Folder1\Program1.exe
D:\Folder2\Folder3\Program2.exe
C:\Program Files\Good Thing\Program3.exe

Just write something similar in a *.txt file and rename it to *.bat

Should get what you need to do.

 

Code:

start "c:\something.exe"
start "c:\documents and settings\owner\somethingelse.exe"

Quotation marks are needed if you have spaces in the directory.
Batch file of course.

 

In Vista (and maybe XP) there is a command TIMEOUT which takes a single parameter for the number of seconds:

TIMEOUT 10 - waits 10 seconds.

If this isn't available on XP, then you can cheat with something like this:

CHOICE /T:10 /D y > NUL

This runs CHOICE which is normally used for input selection within batch files. /T:x is the number of seconds to wait and /D y makes the default choice (which doesn't make any difference in your case) y. > NUL pipes the output to NUL (which is the same as /dev/null on linux) so you don't see any output. This could also be used on the TIMEOUT function too.

Hopefully that helps.

 

botth of u helped me really much, now i just need for the promt window to close after running maplestory :\

 

it wont close :\, it just stays there, a cmd window with the title of my batch file, waiting for m to close it :\

 

Except since the application is still running, its not done executing, obviously.
