did you try playing with the command
start ?

no... could you give me an example of it in use?

"start file.exe" (xp/9x)

now that i have received what i wanted i say thanks to qbix and wd.

when using this...

start E:\Worms2\Worms2_IP_Changer.exe
start E:\Worms2\Frontend.exe
exit

worms 2 failes to find my custom option schemes and weapon schemes aswell as custom teams.

if there is a way to fix this within the batch file please let me know... sorry for the double post.

----------------

edit: fixed it by placing the bat file in my worms 2 directory and removing the paths from the bat file.

E:\Worms2\Worms2_IP_Changer.exe

Requires asterisks at the beginning and end of the statement because of the LFN.

I think you mean QUOTES rather than ASTERISKS.

heh. wow. Did I say asterisk? Yes, you want this: ". WTF, losing my mind again.

it works with the long name just fine without the " it was just setting the "start in" path incorrectly i think.

1start /?

might give more options (there are quite a few actually) (maybe google will help as well

I use

1start . 

(when on a windows pc) every now and then

start E:\Worms2\Worms2_IP_Changer.exe
start E:\Worms2\Frontend.exe
exit

and have it placed in a diff. directory to my worms 2 directory results in worms 2 not looking in its own folders for custom settings and stuff...

start Worms2_IP_Changer.exe
start Frontend.exe
exit

and have it placed in the worms 2 directory results in it working as it should.

Try

E:
cd Worms2

before starting worms. Current directory has to the right one then.

i got it working... no need for more replies here.

call E:\Worms2\Worms2_IP_Changer.exe
call E:\Worms2\Frontend.exe
exit

this seams to be better then the start command... i found this out elsewhere.
