Thanks for your patience and help Dilbert, I appreciate it.

The pipes are there because the information I was able to find on my own suggested that as a way to start multiple processes via a batch. The sample with the pipes in it does everything I want to a T except closing the cmd.exe window, and every other method I tried I couldn't get to work even that well.

As per your suggestion, I tried this one:

Code:

start "path1.exe" "file"
start "c:\Path2.exe"
start "c:\Path3.exe"
start explorer URL

This only comes up partialy functional for me. Lines 1 and 4 go off just like they should. The initial cmd window closes as I'd like with this one. But now, lines 2 and 3 don't actualy start the programs, but rather open up a cmd window titled "c:\path2/3.exe" with a prompt at wherever the batch file is located. I built the second batch by deleting the pipes, inserting the starts and breaks, so I know there aren't any typos in the paths.
