How to launch other programs from the Command Prompt
On Windows, if you need to launch another application while using the Command Prompt all you have to do is use the start command:
start /?
Starts a separate window to run a specified program or command.
START ["title"] [/D path] [/I] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/SEPARATE | /SHARED]
[/LOW | /NORMAL | /HIGH | /REALTIME | /ABOVENORMAL | /BELOWNORMAL]
[/AFFINITY <hex affinity>] [/WAIT] [/B] [command/program]
[parameters]
This is a great way of running scripts that close the prompt that started them, and also starting tasks that need to be monitored separately.
