Maybe you point out that the user has to start the batch script instead the desired programm.

how could i let that batch wait until the program is completely loaded and then rename. and how to rename the folder back exactly before I close the program.

the batch is easy to use and it is working so fine. ... but as I need is to wait the software notepad.exe to fully loaded before the folder is being loaded.

Not sure why you are trying to achieve this? Notepad (which is a very small program) should load very quickly anyway - Word might take longer of course. It would be easy to start Notepad or Word running and then rename the folder, but the problem comes then with telling when you exit the program to rename the folder back to its original name, I can think of ways to do it but none that are easy and why does it matter? Using START /WAIT gets round the problem simply but the initial folder rename has to precede it.

absolutely I just used notepad because everyone using Windows has it and as it happens I don't have Word on the machine I am writing this from... I still don't understand why the order of renaming and starting/ending the program is so important to you? i.e. why you want to start the program, then do the folder rename, and then rename the folder back before you close the program. Seems a strange requirement as well as a hard one to meet?
