I'm trying to recreate a batch file i did about 3 years ago, I remember most of it, but I had it setup up where if the Call command to run a second batch file and the command to start a program into a loop. The kind of loop was that if the user of the computer closed the program that it WOULD reopen and start again. I cannot remember the right command.
Here is what I got

echo off
:start
start /max C:\1.avi
goto start

However every time it closes out, it reopens like it suppose to but opens the programs like 20 times(that is how many i counted in the Process tab of Task Manager) i had to end the .bat program to get them to stop popping up, and when i close out the .bat the movie plays instead of repeatedly opening, i want it to open, and if i close out, it opens again and starts playing

any help??
I would set the play options to loop in the player as for the nature of such a batch would be a PITA for anyone with it running with limited computer knowledge to stop it or remove it. We wont help here with aiding in the creation of pest or malicious code even if just a joke.

Most common gag being a movie of the desktop and the user 'thinks" that their computer is doing bad THINGS etc, but its a movie overlay. And 2nd most common being a background of a SCREENSHOT with icons that dont exist as an IMAGE to PISS people off when they cant be selected.
