CD Art Display, WinAmp and Vista

I recently had the problem of trying to get CD Art Display to work with WinAmp in Vista because the CD Art Display installer said that it was not compatibilitie with my version of WinAmp, I know that this was not true because I had the most recent version of WinAmp and it worked fine in XP. I figured that this error was because of many levels of control that Vista has and not the UAC because it was disabled at the time and there was no way around it so I wrote a batch script to fix the problem. If you are on familiar with batch scripts, you can read more about them at Allenware. I used the first method that I mentioned in a previous post on launching multiple programs with a single shortcut.

I opened up notepad and typed the following:

start "" "C:\Program Files\CD Art Display\CAD.exe"
start "" "C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe"

Then I saved the file as "CAD & WinAmp.bat" in my Program Files folder. Then I changed all of my WinAmp shortcuts to point to the batch file by selecting the shortcut, right clicking it, and changing the path in the Target box to "C:\Program Files\CAD & WinAmp.bat"

Now CD Art Display will open at the same time as WinAmp in Vista!
