I was wondering if its possible to execute a command e.g. start xxxxxxx

where xxxxxxx is fed from a text file, so for example if the text file contained:

notepad
calc
putty

The following would be output in cmd:

start notepad
start calc
start putty

Can anyone let me know the easiest way to do this please

If your file is called cmds.lst, a batch file containing 

for /f %%a in (cmds.lst) do start %%a

should do the trick
