How do i execute a command on command line and continue to next line (of batch script) WITHOUT WAITING?

this is for a windows batch file

similar to the & used in unix scripting.

i'm sure there's a windows alternative ?

If you precede your command with "start", then it will start your command and continue to the next command, i know this works with starting executables, but I'm not sure about other commands

with internal commands you might need to do

start cmd /c <command>
