WINDOWS START UP LOADING SOFTWARE SEQUENCE

Asked By Thomas Elison 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/22/2011

Hi there,

I am building a flight simulator and need the computer to open programs automatically and sequentially when the computer starts. I've created a file that opens the programs, but all at once.

I need to open FSX.exe first, wait for it to load then open the SIMKITS software and then the Instructor software.

So, Is there a command that I could use to open FSX, wait 1 minute for it to load, then open the second file and so on?

Thanks.

WINDOWS START UP LOADING SOFTWARE SEQUENCE

Your problem can be easily solved by creating a batch file to trigger each program sequentially.  An example will be as follows:

@echo off

program 1.exe

REM delay 60 seconds

timeout /t 60 /nobreak > nul

program 2.exe

REM delay 60 seconds

timeout /t 60 /nobreak > nul

program 3.exe

 

Save it as a batch file and then place it in the start up folder of the user.  This is the simplest way of doing it.
