Windows 10: Start program from batch file. Why does it open an "empty" window?

Have a batch file that opens Microsoft Money with it's data file on H:/Money.Why does the batch file open the lower window when it executes?The batch file is pretty simple:ECHO OFF "C:\Program Files x86\Microsoft Money Plus\MNYCoreFiles\MSMoney.exe" "H:Money\D&KWebb.mny"

simple batch program

hey guys, i wrote a REAL simple .bat file that stops and starts certain vmware services on my machine. it makes it a lot easier when dealing with multiple boxes and virtual machines. anyway, when the program completes the cmd window (this is in vista) disappears. this is fine at first because i can see the services start or stop. however, for log purposes id like the cmd window to remain open even after it completes the command. anyone happen to know what code i can add to the batch file to keep the window open? thanks.

 

Start a program from a batch file


I'm trying to create a batch file that should

- call another batch file
- start a program and then wait for the program to close
- call another batch file

My goal with this is to work around an issue in Windows 10 where the screensaver won't work when I have my game controllers connected. I already created two batch files where one of them enables my game controllers and the other one disables them. Both these batch files work just fine.

However I now want to create a third batch file that will do what listed above - first call the batch file that will enable my game controllers, then start my program which is an executable and then after I exited out of the program the batch file that will disable my game controllers should be called.

Here's what I've tried but this doesn't work, it will only run the first batch file enabling my game controllers.

Code:

Code:

"c:\util\Game controllers - Enable.cmd" start "P:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\Prepar3D.exe" "c:\util\Game controllers - Disable.cmd"

Thanks in advance for any help.
