Can someone help. I have created the bottom .bat file. Everything works fine, the only problem is that the programs will not minimize. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

@echo off

START "My USB\YPOPs" "YPOPs\ypops.exe" /MIN /WAIT

CLS

START "My USB\Portable Thunderbird 1.5" "Portable Thunderbird 1.5\PortableThunderbird.exe" /MIN /WAIT

CLS

START "My USB\Portable Opera 8.5" "Portable Opera 8.5\opera.exe" /MIN /WAIT

CLS

Exit

it should be this=>

start "title" /min /wait "program/command"

as taken from doing a start | run | cmd /k start /? and reading through the switches there

oioldman - Thank you for your reply. I'm going to try.
