I'm trying to create a batch file in Windows XP that I can put in my startup folder that will start a program after a certain time delay after Windows starts. I need this for a messaging program we use at work that I always forget to start but it needs to wait until I get connected to the work network. This would require about a 5 minute delay to give me time to get connected then automatically start.
I've tried creating the batch file but the start command just opens another DOS window with the command prompt in the My Documents folder. Does anyone know why the start command is not starting the program?
I also could use some ideas on how to delay the command once the batch file runs.
Thanks,
Munkey
