- How to run several commands in a batch file ?
- Posted by - on May 7th, 2005
How do I run several commands in a batch file
with XP and SP2 ?
Without SP2 I could use 'START'.
But this dosn't work any more.
eg.
START "C:\directory\file.xls"
would work.
Now it sticks at a DOS window and nothing opens.
"C:\directory\file.xls"
will work but the following commands will not be executed
till the file is closed.
[as in the past]
If I try to circumvent using the utility
C:\windows\command\runfile "C:\directory\file.xls"
which worked in XP in the past,
it no longer works in SP2.
Does any one know how to accomplish running several commands
in SP2 ?
Thank you,
Emory

Try this
START "" "C:\directory\file.xls"
or
START "Happy Mothers Day" "C:\directory\file.xls"
