i just need some help with a batch file i made. it's used to start up some processes that i previously terminated. here is the script for it: sc start acrsch2svc sc start pdsched sc start adobeactivefilemonitor4.0 sc start avg7alrt sc start avg7updsvc "C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Free\avgemc.exe" "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Acronis\Schedule2\schedhlp.exe" "C:\Program Files\Acronis\TrueImage\TrueImageMonitor.exe" "C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Free\avgcc.exe" "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 4.0\apdproxy.exe" "C:\Program Files\Ad Muncher\AdMunch.exe" pause the only problem i have is that whenever it starts one of the processes in quotes it pauses. i then have to run the batch again to start the next process in quotes. so i have to run it like 6 times in a row to get it to start all the processes. i was wondering if there was a way to have it all run in one go? maybe a command i need to use to tell it to keep running, instead of pausing?

ok, the problem is related to the quotes. if you don't use quotes then the start command will launch the application correctly. if you do use quotes then it just launches a new cmd window with the title of whatever you put in quotes. problem is i have to use quotes in my entries because they have spaces in them. or, if you just type in the path without the start cmd like i did above, then it launches correctly, but thats when it pauses. is there anyway around this?
