What about it does not work for you?

 

[Lemur]

What about creating a batch file to launch two programs?

 

[killer bee]

If i create batch file mention in here only open CMD file. Why is that?

 

[wilywombat]

Can you post the exact contents of the batch file so we can see where it may be going wrong?

Step 1

@echo off
Start "Firefox” "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
Start "PlatinumHideIP" "C:\Program Files\PlatinumHideIP\PlatinumHideIP.exe"

I attached Step1 BAT file in here.

If i use above process "PlatinumHideIP" only start.

And this one

Step 2

@echo off
Start C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
Start C:\Program Files\PlatinumHideIP\PlatinumHideIP.exe

And also

Step 3

@echo off
start“Outlook”"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
start“Firefox”"C:\Program Files\PlatinumHideIP\PlatinumHideIP.exe"

after that i save them in "TEST.BAT" name in Desktop. and i bubble click on "TEST.BAT" file.
(I use Windows7 Ultimate 32 bit OS)
Then this error show 1 step. if i press "OK" then PlatinumHideIP application only open.

after that i Chang it this way.

Step 4

@echo off
Start "Mozilla Firefox” "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
Start "PlatinumHideIP" "C:\Program Files\PlatinumHideIP\PlatinumHideIP.exe"

Then only open PlatinumHideIP and CMD window open but Firefox not open this is at that time "CMD window" screen shot(Step4)




How do i solve this matter?

I've had a look at your attached batch file and found an error. When I opened it in notepad, it looks normal but when I opened it in a hex editor to se the file content, there is a corruption in the Firefox line. I then reconstructed the file from scratch on my machine using notepad just using the Firefox line (as I don't have PlatinumHideIP) and Firefox fired up normally. I have then added the PlatinumHideIP line after and attach the modified file for you to try. Let me know how it goes..

Thanks for your try now only start "Firefox" ; PlatinumHideIP not start. So what is the reason? And also why still "Command Prompt" open?

Add an extra line to the batch file that says "End" (without the " "). This will close the window after the program has run. I can't help with the PlatinumHideIP line as I am in UK and do not have a useable copy of the program. How does it integrate with Firefox? Is there a new button on the browser to activate the IP change or does PlatinumHideIP start up everytime the browser is opened?
