   First of all, you need to let us know what happened before this. Did your   
   system crash, did you do a reboot without exiting REX, etc.. Both would be   
   a reason to look at config files that worked before, as any number of your   
   configuration files could be corrupted.   
      
   You shouild also look for a REXUP.0 or REXBUSY.0 file (usually in your   
   FLAG subdirectory if you configed one) that is telling REX that it is   
   busy...you can, but shouldn't, start a second session in IREX, which is   
   why someone has shown you their batch file that looks for those files and   
   deletes them before the batch* calls for IREX to start. i.e if rexup.0   
   exists, you will never get REX to start again.   
      
   If you haven't configed a FLAG sub-directory you'll find those *.0 files   
   in the IREX directory. This is the most common problem that nimrod users   
   make when they try to start IREX in -daemon -tray mode. It also pays to   
   keep a 'working' version as a backup. If something changes, you can always   
   use that for a fallback.

   if exist *.0 del *.0   
   if not exist goto START   
      
   :START

   rexw.exe -daemon -tray   
      
   :END   
   exit   
      
      
   Satisfied?
