You have to use the "start" command for that.
ie .. instead of

"C:\this folder\thatfile.exe"
"C:\this folder\thatfile1.exe"
"C:\this folder\thatfile2.exe"

You need to write

start "" "C:\this folder\thatfile.exe"
start "" "C:\this folder\thatfile1.exe"
start "" "C:\this folder\thatfile2.exe"

in your batch file
( dont forget the "" just after start )
This is because windows stops for one command to end before it starts the next one. When you use start command .. the command is executed and batch file understands that command is over (the execution of start command is over ) and it can proceed to next command.
