    Question Is it possible to launch several programs at a time in Windows XP?

    I mean to launch them with a single command. In Windows 9x it is as simple as writing the commands in a .bat file and executing it, but in Windows XP batch files seem to invoke the commands one by one, hence I see the TV window, close it and see the sound filtering program, close it and see the Creative Mixer (that I launch to open the microphone input, usually closed, from where the sound card gets the sound from the TV card).

    I am relatively expert with W9x but I'm a beginner with NT/2000/XP. I have been playing with CMD, /C, /K, &&, CALL and other commands and parameters but without success.

    No fine Java tricks, no TCL, no hash tables or databases, just launching several programs in parallel in a multitask and multiprocess environment (winXP). How? Thanks in advance.
