Running Windows batch file commands asynchronously

Question

Say, if I have

• foo.exe
• bar.exe
• baz.exe

How do I run all of them from a batch file asynchronously, i.e. without waiting for the previous program to stop?

Answer 1

Create a batch file with the following lines:

start foo.exe
start bar.exe
start baz.exe 

The start command runs your command in a new window, so all 3 commands would run asynchronously.
