running two exe files with a single batch file in python

Question

I wanted to run two programs using a single batch file in python.

The code below does this, but I want that, when the first program has finished executing the second program will stop running and the batch file will close.

@ECHO off
start C:\Users\User1\Desktop\Softwares\Googletalk
start C:\Users\User1\Desktop\Softwares\YahooMessenger

Do you have any logic you are currently using for this task to edit and add to your question? — Bitcoin Murderous Maniac

I'm not sure this can be done in batch without some third-party utilities that may or may not exist. I'm fairly certain it can be done in Powershell, however - would such a solution be acceptable? — Jeff Zeitlin
