Hi, I am trying to run a exe program from a bat FILE, but the bat doesn't close until I close the exe program.

Is there a way to start the exe program from the bat file, but the bat doesn't hung on it?

ThanksHere is a SUPER simple test to see if the EXE file will LET ou do that.

Code: [Select]REM callme.bat
notepad
REM done here

Code: [Select]REM BATCH file calls another batch
DIR /b
call callme.bat
DIR /w
REM All done!

The only purpose of this code is to see if it works in a very simple batch.
This doesn't work, I am on Windows XP, it doesn't even work for the notepad.Code: [Select]start notepad.exe
exit
Please help me as I have esimilar kind of query.
