How to create a bat file with exe files in the background?
Posted by Max on July 4th, 2008


I have a problem with a game(Pes2008): the refresh rate(a CRT monitor)
is locked at 60 hz.


To solve the problem I found a program(refreshlock) which force
applications to use the desired refresh rate for every resolution.

The only trouble is that I have to remember to run the program before
the game, so I thought of using a bat file:


"C:\refreshlock\refreshlock.exe"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\KONAMI\Pro Evolution Soccer 2008\PES2008.exe"

But this won't work: how can I run the first executable in background so
that the game will start after launching refreshlock.exe?

I tried adding "start" before the first executable, but it didn't work
either.


I think I need something similar to this:

Is there something similar in the vista command prompt?
Thanks.
