i'm really new to batch files so this might be a stupid question. Can you get a batch file to run when you open a specific program, so when i opened Firefox for example the batch file would run and do whatever it wanted to do.
Or would i have to make a batch file that opened Firefox then done whatever i wanted it to do.
Hopefully that made sense.

You can open a browser using batch. What do you want to do after that?

I really suggest you to look into AutoIt language as you can easily monitor running programs with it and do whatever you want with them.
We have some nice tutorials on this forum about AutoIt

What is to invoke the batch script when you open the program? Understand that this would require functionality from the program that would call the batch script or a hack to the program in question... There's no way to do this in batch.

Yet as you stated, there is a way for a given program to invoke a batch script.
Redshift and Xflux (Google those 2 Linux programs for further referencing) come to mind immediately.
And M[ostly]S[hoddy]'s Windows?
There's a way.
So please, do tell what you're already aware of.
