Script package to run multiple instances of Windows Explorer in the same place

I have a script package on the Windows XP desktop (LaunchWindowsExplorers.bat) that should run multiple instances of Windows Explorer.

It looks like this:

LaunchWindowsExplorers.bat :

start explorer "C:\SomeDirectory" 
start explorer "C:\SomeDirectory"

When i double click the file LaunchWindowsExplorers.bat

I would expect to see

  • two instances of Windows Explorer open in the "C: \ SomeDirectory" folder.

Instead i see

  • only one instance of Windows Explorer opened in "C: \ SomeDirectory".

What do I need to do to make this script open two instances of Windows Explorer, each of which is open in "C: \ SomeDirectory"?

Thank.
