for example, if I want a batch file to open two instances of notepad on c:\a.txt and c:\b.txt so that I can switch between the two, what option or command can I execute to let this happen only for this batch file's execution?

setlocal
notepad c:\a.txt
notepad c:\b.txt
end local

the above will open b.txt only when I close a.txt in this client domain
what commnd or option can I use after setlocal to have both instances running?



try "call notepad ....." instead.
