Question : Logon script problem, program called by logon script does not return console to next line in script

Our logon script for some users maps drives, then calls 2 programs.  Both programs run in a CLI console window.

The mapped drives are OK.  The first program launches, but since it does not 'end' the logon script never gets to the next program.  Are there any switches I can add to allow the logon script to proceed w/o waiting for the program to 'finish'?  

Below is my logon script on the netlogon share on the AD server that calls the other 2 batch files.  Smedge runs, but never returns the console for After-effects to run.  If I change the order of the batch files called, then After-effects runs, but Smedge doesn't.


(nodelogon.bat)
@echo off
net use v: \\ibmn3700\renderstore1
net use w: \\ibmn3700\renderstore2
net use x: \\ibmn3700\renderstore3
net use y: \\ibmn3700\renderstore4
net use z: \\ibmn3700\renderstore5

\\addivx1\netlogon\smedge.bat
\\addivx1\netlogon\aae.bat

---------------------
(smedge.bat)
"Y:\Smedge 3\SmedgeEngine.exe"


-------------------------
(aae.bat)
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS3\Support Files\afterfx.exe" -wf V:\AE-7.0_watch_folder

Answer : Logon script problem, program called by logon script does not return console to next line in script

the session never returns to console, so this doesn't really work for me.

Thanks for your help tho.
