If you've installed the WSH, then you can use the Wscript's native Sleep method inside a short piece of VBScript. Better, you could entirely replace the batch file with a short script, using the Wscript.Shell Run method to fire various executables either synchronously or asynchronously. There's certainly nothing doable in a batch file that can't be done better in a script.
