    Open Multiple Files one click - simple bat/batch file


    Hey,

    I have a simple batch file to load multiple files with one click, but it's not working.

    When I run it, it simply very quickly pops up the cmd dialog, which quickly disappears, and nothing is loaded.

    I've tried 'running as administrator' - same problem.

    File is xxxxx.bat

    I've even tried the fail safe:

    start /d C:\Windows\System32\calc.exe

    and that doesn't work, so it's not a error in my paths... for some reason, it just won't load...

    Worked in XP fine...

    Is there a different technique in 7?

    Basically, end result, want to open two programs with one click (one icon on taskbar).

    Cheers
