Hey everyone...

i was hoping that i would be able to run the [email protected] s from a batch file instead
of having to navigate though my documents and such i did try start /min *path* but that didnt work, so i was hoping i could get some tips here
 
Does your path have spaces in it? If so, you need to use quotation marks.

Can you post the contents of your batch file? IT may help someone pin down what's wrong.
 
why do you want it to be started from a batch file? there could be other easier ways to do this. ;)
 
yes it had spaces, it was d:my documents/ etc... so that would that problem

and i just want to be able to double click on it and have it open both the folding exes (for the dual core) instead of having to go to start my docs and all that, yes i am lazy:D
 
update i tried putting " " around the path and the script ran but didnt execute anything...

start /m "d:\My Documents\Folding\FAH504-Console.exe" /m "d:\My Documents\Folding2\FAH504-Console.exe"

thats what it contains
 
try breaking it into 2 start commands on separate lines.
also, change your /m to either /MIN or /MAX (depending on if you want minimized or maximized windows. I assume MIN);

Code: 
start /MIN "d:\My Documents\Folding\FAH504-Console.exe"
start /MIN "d:\My Documents\Folding2\FAH504-Console.exe"
 
haha actually, it didnt quite work
because the F@H uses the files that are stored in the folding directories, if you run it from the desk top ( like i did) then it is looking on the desk top for these files...and ofcourse they are not there :( oh well, it was worth a try
 
try adding the /d parameter and put in the path to the folder directory, like this:

Code: 
start /MIN /d"d:\My Documents\Folding" "d:\My Documents\Folding\FAH504-Console.exe"

** replace d:\My Documents\Folding with the path to the folding directory if it is not that.
 
well it brings up the folding window, but it still doesnt access the files....it just says d:\ my documents\folding>
and
d:\my documents\folding2>

dannngggg
 
You could try right-clicking on each FAH504-Console.exe file and choosing Send To -> Desktop

See if the shortcut created will run the program from the desktop. You would need 2 of them (one for each session you want to run). Right-click on the shortcuts and select Properties and you can set them to run minimized. May help...
