ProScan: Clicking Speaker Icon Mutes All Instances

[fxdscon]

I appreciate the suggestions. using the .bat route it will open the first instance but won't open the second until I close the first. Any ideas?

this is what I use for a bat file:

----------------------------------

@Echo off

start "" "C:\Proscan1\ProScan.exe"

start "" "C:\Proscan2\ProScan.exe"

start "" "C:\Proscan3\ProScan.exe"

exit

------------------------------------

This will start all named instances of ProScan and then close out the CMD window.

Thanks. After an hour of Googling I came to the same conclusion and was about to come back here and update.

Well I knew how to do it in a shell script ("&") but had to look up how to do it on Windows. I think if you use the "start" command it will do what you want:

start "C:\ProScan\ProScan1\ProScan.exe"
start "C:\ProScan\ProScan2\ProScan.exe"

No, I haven't tested it.

Almost.

Now I can put all my instances in that batch file (I was tired of having to troubleshoot with so many).

As long as I don't use shortcuts it works fine, so I'll just keep starting each instance from the .exe in the folder.

Don't know if this will help you or not.
I use a program called Startup Delayer to control what starts up on it's own.
It's simple to add programs to start. And disable ones you don't.
Will often setup a few seconds of delay when when I have a series of the same applications starting upon boot.
I also find the GUI is a nice way to visually see what all is starting up.
It's got lots of "bells and whistles" to play with. Free edition is fully functional.
