Running Windows batch file commands asynchronously

by

Using the START command to run each program should get you what you need:

START "title" [/D path] [options] "command" [parameters]

Every START invocation runs the command given in its parameter and returns immediately, unless executed with a /WAIT switch.

That applies to command-line apps. Apps without command line return immediately anyway, so to be sure, if you want to run all asynchronously, use START.
