why do you referance firefox? if it is the default browser it should use it. besides that
let me try and understand what you want.
1st you want to open a file in a program, then you want to open a URL in browser
here we go:
Code:
start %SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe c:\1.txt
start explorer http:\\google.com
no exit at all, you dont need it, you only need exit if you want to end the batch file befor it reaches the last line of code.
i have no clue why you have so many Pipes "|" in your code either.
