Finshed! Works great and final size after compression is only 8KB :)...not bad. Also have made it so that if user places an Asterix symbol '*' anywhere in the app path in the list of apps, it will not run that app at all...something like a remark statement.

Heh, didn't work again. but finally figured out whyand how stupid a mistake it tuned out to be. I had used space symbol as the delimiter for breaking up the command line data which was stupid because if the directory containing the file or the file contained a space in it, ta ta...changed de-limiter to pipe symbol '|'. Also added individual time delay option where you have to add '|' followed by time
delay for that individual program.
So, in command line, you give file+default time value...if default time is not given, it is taken as 5 secs. now when reading the file info, if you have specified a time delay for a certain program, it will use that to run program. if individual program's time is not specified, it will take the default time you specified in command line and if you did not specify there also, it will take it as 5 secs. Time value has to be more than 0 and less than 30. You can also use like say 1.25 to denote 1250 milliseconds and so on.

Re-wrote the code properly. Tested it and it seems to work fine on my computer...going to send this to Bert now to see if this atleast works :P...added a lot of msgbox's so that he can know where exactly the program ends if it does so again.

Ok, wrote little error checking and sent program back to Bert to find out where the error had occurred only to get back a reply saying error checking reported no errors and this time it gave out the 'File Already Open' error. Am going to sit down and write a proper program this time.

Got around to starting the program. Just wrote little code to load the programs and run them and sent it to Bert to check if it worked fine but it did not...gave him a 'File not Found' error. Since i had no error checking written, i have absolutely no idea where/why this happened.

OK, was asked to make this program but was also given some consideration and hence am not really doing much work on this program. Will get into it once I finish atleast one of the remaining programs.
