    Run an application, wait for it to close then run another application...
    « on: July 29, 2009, 04:30:17 AM »
    Hi,

    Sorry if this has been asked before - I have searched and looked through posts and can't see anything similar.

    What I would like to do is run a standard 32bit application, and once the app closes I would like a different app to run immediately after (maybe pausing for a minute or so to make sure the previous app has closed completely)

    Thanks for any help... :)
