I am running Windows XP pro on a laptop. I am trying how to conditional launch some programs based on my hardware profile. WHen I am docked, I want to launch some programs that I do not want to launch when the laptop is not docked.

I was trying to use a batch file and DEVCON, but I am not having any success.

I wrote a batch file in to see if DEVCON sees the docking station.

devcon status ACPI\DOCK*| find "running"
ECHO errorlevel: %errorlevel%
IF errorlevel 0 GOTO SUBA

:SUBA
c:\altiview.lnk
c:\HPDigitalImagingMonitor.lnk
:END
Exit

I do get "0" returned when the docking station is not present and "1" returned when it is not. However, in either case the "SUBA" commands are executing. I only want to run SUBA when the docking station is not present.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help and time.
