Problem with batch files and explorer

Joined: Jul 12, 2009 Posts: 1

Hello,

I've created a very simple .BACTH file whose aim is to open a series of folders:

Code:

@echo off
rem explorer /e,/root,%JUAN_DESKTOP%
explorer /e,/root,%JUAN_MYDROPBOX%Die_Diplomarbeit
explorer /e,/root,%JUAN_MYDROPBOX%Die_DiplomarbeitDokumentation
rem etc...

Here explorer is explorer.exe, which can be found in %SystemRoot% (which corresponds to C:Windows on my system)

When executing this .BATCH program under XP all required folders get opened and it works as it's supposed to work, but when executing it under Windows Vista the following occurs:

-- only the first folder opens (i.e., %JUAN_DESKTOP%)

-- if I close this folder's window the second folder indicated on the .BATCH file gets opened (i.e., %JUAN_MYDROPBOX%Die_Diplomarbeit), but no other folder

-- in turn, if I close this folder's window the third folder indicated on the .BATCH file gets opened (i.e., ,%JUAN_MYDROPBOX%Die_DiplomarbeitDokumentation)

-- etc...

Why I cannot all these folders to get opened at once?, that's what I'm striving for, in other case I have to open each folder one by one, which is really tedious!

Thanks in advance.

PS: my OS is Windows Vista Home Premium [verison 6.0.6000]
