Solve : Simple batch-file help?

Answer»

Hello everyone,

I am not much of a PC crack, but today decided to give a batch-file a go.

My goal is the following: every day I boot my PC at work and open the exact same tools in the exact same order. (OUTLOOK, Firefox, Internet Explorer + internal tools)
I wanted to create a batch file that runs the tools in that order.
Since each tool needs quite some time to open, I wanted to add a pause between the different .EXE executions, and this is where I fail.

So far I am at this:

Echo off
echo Goodmorning, have a NICE day.
START /MAX firefox.exe
TYPE NUL | choice /c:delay /td,35>NUL
START /MAX iexplore.exe


What it does is RUNNING Firefox and IE at the exact same time, with no 35 second delay.
I tried some other commands I found, but this SEEMS the closest.

Win XP is the OS btw, in case this matters here.

Thank you very much in advance,
PositivezThe Choice command is not available in XP, suggest you download it.

Thank you very much.
Will see if the system admin allows the installation :/

Cheers!
Positivez
