Run 2 files at the same time and minimize them as batch file
I'm trying to run a file (virus.bat) and then a PowerPoint presentation (presentation.pptx). I want to run virus.bat minimized and then presentation.pptx but not minimized. I tried to write the following code, but I'm not sure if it's correct.
start /min virus.bat start presentation.pptx exit
batch-file

You can use the following command:
start /min virus.bat & start /max presentation.pptx & exit
There is also an option which you can use: /wait. This, will wait until a process file is closed.
You can check start /? for more information.
