title: call bat file in new windows from powershell
body: <p>I want to launch a bat file in new window/independent instance from within powershell.</p>
  
  <p>the bat file will take a computername from powershell<br>
  e.g.   </p>
  
  <pre><code>mybat.bat $thiscomputer
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Ive tried </p>
  
  <pre><code>start mybat.bat $thiscomputer
  start "cmd /c" mybat.bat $thiscomputer
  start /k mybat.bat $thiscomputer
  start-process mybat.bat $thiscomputer
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>ordinarily the bat does run but stays within the powershell script.</p>
  
  <p>I need the powershell script to launch the bat in anew window and loop back to the beginning.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
