title: batch file that opens a program waits 5 seconds then closes that program
body: <p>For some reason I cannot get this batch to perform the open portion, wait, then the close portion in Windows XP or Windows 7.  I can only open or close by commenting out the other in the batch, but for some reason how I have it written it will only open.  How can I open a program wait a fixed time, then close that same program?  The reason for doing this is to force a manufacturer program's drivers when the computer starts.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks.</p>
