    because I want to know how to do that kind of bat file. Does it really need a specific reason??  ??? I have also tried to do bat file that opens different programs at the same time... And it partially worked...

    C:
    C:\Windows\notepad (this actually works fine)
    C:\Program Files\IObit\Advanced SystemCare 3\awc.exe
    C:\Program Files\Lavalys\EVEREST Home Edition\everest.exe

    but those last two didn't open... -.-

    Yes. We are a responsible forum. A script that could format without user intervention is potentially disastrous and very few people need to do it. Such a script could be used for malicious purposes, by stupid prank playing idiots, and it is not really all that hard for you to work it out for yourself. Feel free to experiment on your own hardware.

      aa now I got it :D hehe I didn't even think about that...  :o well I don't even know how to disguise bat file so that someone would actually run it :D I just wanted to create something effective with bat file... Creating a bat file that opens programs sounds so booring :d but I see that I have to settle with that then...

      So could you help me to finish that another bat that opens different programs... ? :)

      You need to enclose a path + filename in quote marks if it contains contains one or more spaces

                You're new here, aren't you?


                well. yes...besides the point.

                What's wrong with Right Click --> Format?

                which is basicly easier. i know.
                but he wants to know what is wrong with his script because he COULD just right click and format.
                i didn't mean to sound obvious. im just telling carbon that he wants to find the problem instead of just getting over it

                “You must be new here.” is a "Slashdot meme", in other words, the height of wit and humour.

                In Soviet Russia, the batch file writes you!

                Incidentally, does this remind people of anyone?
