I know it seems this has been asked before, but I need a batch to open another batch in a new window. I’ve tried:

start abc.bat

cmd abc.bat

run abc.bat

and others. They’ve all opened in the same window or just opened Command Prompt in new window, ignoring my batch. Is there a batch command to open a batch file in a new window?

    It’s a little bit strange that start abc.bat doesn’t work but I assume this is because you are running this in the middle of another batch. You probably need call:

    22:22:38.85 c:\help call
Calls one batch program from another.

CALL [drive:][path]filename [batch-parameters]

    Giving you start call abc.bat or call start abc.bat depending on what the exact problem is.
