Batch file works in Vista but not XP?This is a discussion on Batch file works in Vista but not XP? within the Programming Languages forums in category; The following batch file commands will properly open Internet Explorer 3 times on a PC running Vista: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" However, on a PC with XP, it will not open a second IE until I close the first IE.
