BAT: opening X amount of programs/files maximized but also minimized
I currently have this piece of BAT code that opens all files in a folder maximized.
for %%i in (C:UsersPrograms*) do start /max %%i && timeout /t 10
What I want to achieve, is for the code to also minimize all the programs after it has opened them in a maximized state. Is this possible in some way?

Perhaps adding this line next will help:
powershell -command "(New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application).MinimizeAll()"
It will minimize all windows (not just the ones you launched or are maximized).
