How do I go about making a .bat file that will execute 2 files? I want it to open one application, then about 5 seconds later open the second application. So far I have it opening the first, but not the second. Any help with be appreciated.
 
To start two applications you can use something like this example I once made to start Opera together with noopads (No Opera Ads). Don't know how to achieve the five second delay at the moment.

@ECHO OFF
START "Opera" /B "C:\Programme\Opera\opera.exe"
START "Noopads" /B "C:\download\noopads\noopads.exe"

Thanks. That works out perfectly. :D
 
Jmtyra, have you tried it? Seems the CHOICE command isn't available in XP.

You are correct yoyo. My apologies--I just got that off of google.com, didn't try it out or anything. I checked out the link that allan posted (thanks, allan!) and that appears to be a more viable solution. Later! ;)

Thanks! :)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
