I have the following batch file    echo off REM Starts a chrome browser with multiple tabbed sites C  Users UserName AppData Local Google Chrome Application chrome exe  site1 com   site2 com    But when I run it  it causes the prompt to hang and renders it unusable until Chrome is closed   Or  if I am not using the prompt and run it from the icon  it opens a blank prompt that is unusable and disappears when Chrome is closed    Is there any way to prevent this  I E  once the webpages are open  the prompt is no longer tied up   It opens the webpages just fine  I ve also noticed that if there s already a chrome window open  the batch runs fine  leaving a usable prompt   adding the tabs to the existing chrome session
