launch multiple files at once with dos batch command

contents of run.bat
notepad "hello1.txt"
notepad "hello2.txt"

Ok, very simple question here.

I want to click on run.bat and have it open both of these files at once. Currently when i click the bat file it pulls up the 1st txt file and then i have to close it before the other txt file pops up.

The problem is that when a new process is created from a batch file, it deliberately waits for the process to terminate so that it can collect the exit code. Try...

START hello1.txt
START hello2.txt
