Script to open multiple files?

[ChronicTrees]

I have been trying to find a way to open multiple .xls files at once. There is one file in the root directory and 10 or so folders in the directory with files that need to opened as well. I made a batch script and can get the first file to open, but I lack the knowledge to open the files in the folders. Any other methods or help on this would be great.

Just use "start" on each file name in series, and they'll open in Excel.
