BAT File to Run 3 Programs

I'm trying to create a BAT file to run 3 programs and I can't get it
to work. Here's my current code:

@echo off
start "C:\Program Files\PhraseExpress\phrase.exe"
start "C:\Program Files\MemInfo\meminfo.exe"
start "E:\Software\ultra-cpu-monitor_eng\ultra-cpu-monitor.exe"

When run, I get a Command Prompt box, with the path/file name at the
top, with the command at the directory where the BAT file is, and the
programs do not open.

Any ideas how to get this to work? Thanks for any help.
 
start "Title" "C:\Program Files\PhraseExpress\phrase.exe"

Thanks very much. I had seen the "title" in my search for help but I
thought it wasn't required. I should have tried it. Problem solved!

Not really similar, but...

Test it - troubleshoot it...
Open a command prompt and run it from the command prompt and don't put in
the @echo off until you get it working.

Or try each line in a command prompt one at a time - if it doesn't work
there - it is not going to work in a batch script.

also...

xcopy f:\apps c:\apps /e /i /h /r /g /c /k /x /y

That should copy everything from f:\apps to c:\apps (creating c:\apps if it
does not exist, copying everything including all subdirectories from
f:\apps, continuing on errors, copying the permissions and even encrypted
files that it comes across and answering any questions to the
affirmative...)
