How can I set up 4 or more instances of WME to open and start encoding
automatically upon boot of Windows XP?

Thanks,

You can save 4 WME sessions and place them in your startup folder...
The encoding autostart might be trickier though, not to mention that you are
going to have a really much slower system startup this way...

I make a batch file for each job with the encoder startup command then put
in the startup folder.
start /MIN "" "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Components\Encoder\wmenc.exe"
/start job_640x480.wme

I ran the batch file to start the specified file in WME but how do I make the
batch file "start encoding" automatilcally?
I would also like to close the video panel and then minimize the session.

Here is the command:
start /MIN "" "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Components\Encoder\wmenc.exe"
/start job_320x240.wme

1. The "/start job_320x240.wme" is what tells the encoder to start the
encoding and what job to use.
2. In Windows Media Encoder, close the video panel before saving the job.
Then on the main menu do Tools->Options. On the General tab, un-check the
check box labeled, "Automatically show panels needed for the current
session".
3. in the command above, the "start /MIN" starts the job and minimizes the
window.

I use this all the time and get exactly what you are striving for.
