Use ShellExecute which is declared in ShellAPI.

ShellExecute(
    MainForm.Handle,
    'open',
    PChar(scriptfilename),
    PChar(params),
    PChar(workingdirectory),
    SW_SHOW
);

 var
 exe_start_map:string;
 begin
  exe_start_map:=(ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName));     
   winexec(PChar(exe_start_map+'\yourfile.bat'),sw_show);
 end;

you must add ShellApi in uses list
