Batch File to run all vbscripts in a folder
I have an ever growing number of vbscripts that I set up scheduled tasks to run every 15 minutes and there's got to be a better way. Is there a way to put together a batch file that will run every script in a particular folder? That way I could just have one scheduled task to rule them all!
Thanks in advance.

In regard of "in a particular order", usually you ascertain that by prefixing each file name with e.g. a two-digit number, ascending, and then use the DIR as shown above.

Sounds like this should be straight forward yet I'm getting an error.
"windows cannot find "cscript //nologo d:\scripts\file1.vbs......
even though this file and others are in that location.
What am I missing?

What am I missing?
Please post your code. are there spaces in the path or filenames? Have you tried with suitable " " around the paths like in my last example?

Below is the code. The contents of the folder get interated as expected as the error messages shows as much;
--------------------------
The system cannot find the file cscript //nologo C:\Users\bking\Documents\S
The system cannot find the file cscript //nologo C:\Users\bking\Documents\S
The system cannot find the file cscript //nologo C:\Users\bking\Documents\S
--------------------------
Exit code: 1 , 0001h

@echo off
for %%F in (C:\Users\bking\Documents\Scripts\EnvMon\Tasks\*.vbs) do START "" "cscript //nologo %%F"
on mobile at mo, but try syntax suggested in my last post using di and "" around filename.

Deleting the quotes around the cscript //nologo %%F section did the trick. Problem solved, points to be shared since both dragon-it and qlemo provided essentially the same solution. Thanks to all!
