407751 2005-11-26 04:36:00 I want to create a shortcut that launchs 2 programs when clicked. How would I go about doing this? (Running XP Pro) imarubberducky (7230)
407752 2005-11-26 04:39:00 Create a text (.txt) file and place the path to each program on a line. Then save and change the extension to .bat. This creates a batch file that will execute the programs.

forgot to mention if the paths have spaces in them you will have to surround the path with quotes.

and add @echo off to the first line :-)

start "" "C:\Program Files\folder\program.exe"
start "" "C:\Program Files\folder2\program2.exe"
