I will present two versions of a batch file, and list the effects they have.

Start "" "C:\Program Files\ToggleTaskbarAutohide\ToggleTaskbarAutohide.exe"
timeout 1
Start "" "C:\Program Files\Macro Express Pro 6\MeProc.exe" /ASaveDeskTopView
timeout 1
Start "" "C:\Program Files\ToggleTaskbarAutohide\ToggleTaskbarAutohide.exe"

The third 'START' line takes effect before the second one has completed 
 

Start "" "C:\Program Files\ToggleTaskbarAutohide\ToggleTaskbarAutohide.exe"
timeout 1
Start "" "C:\Program Files\Macro Express Pro 6\MeProc.exe" /ASaveDeskTopView
timeout 2
Start "" "C:\Program Files\ToggleTaskbarAutohide\ToggleTaskbarAutohide.exe"

When the second timeout is increased to anything over '1', the CMD window for the third 'START' line is superimposed on the snip image (thus spoiling it).

How to get the third 'Start' line to 'wait' till the second has completed ?

It turns out that running the batch minimized using Task Scheduler solves the problem
