What I did was:
Start c:\xxxx\xxxx\winamp.exe
Start c:\xxxx\xxxx\Girder.exe
exit
Everything works just fine it loads winamp and girder but doesn't close out the window... I'm in the process of finding out what the command is to close the window (I thought it was exit).
As for a clock I don't know what to tell ya except if your using a remote setup i think girder has something somewhere that will say the time when you press a button on the remote but i haven't tried it... *thinks thats a good addon*
/me goes and tries to figure the clock thing out....

closing batch file windows is actually a function of the PIF file (omg! they exist in win9x? -yes- the old win3.1 legacy exists)
make a shortcut to the batch file in the same directory that it sits in, and then set the properties for how you want it to be displayed. I reccomend that you set it to run minimized, and then have it close the window on app termination. W2K automatically closes the window.
If you want a patch file to close itself put this at the end:
@echo off
cls
Tell me how it works for ya!

Well it still isn't working, but it is not completely neccesary, so I am going to give up on it... i've tried exit, cls (with @echo off), and multiple ways of starting the programs (with START, just typing the path, etc) yet the damn command box will not go away... so ill just leave it alone and let it die, I guess DOS (cmd prompt) just isnt meant to run on W2k.

im tellin ya...use the registry
Alives is correct.
Go to Start->Run and type "regedit" in the Open: box. Then click ok. Navigate through the registry tree to:
Right click in the right pane and choose New->String Value. Give it a name like "Winamp" for winamp. Then double click on the new value you've created and enter the full path including command line parameters of the program you wish to start.Code:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | +-Software | +-Microsoft | +-Windows | +-CurrentVersion | +-Run

Forgive me for being slow to understand, but doesn't that specify what to run on startup? Because I am trying to set it up so that whenever I click an icon it runs more than one thing. Please correct me if I am wrong about this.
