parallel execution of system command

Is there a way to execute a system command (ie calling up a dos executable/bang operator) parallely. Within a for loop I'm calling up an exe file via system(). However it runs for few mins due to the interaction of internet. In windows its possible to open multiple sessions of dos and run executables. How can I get matlab to open multiple parallel dos sessions.

This can be achieved by invoking the command "start"

system('start myprog1');
system('start myprog2');
