ShortCut

[John Cena]

I have a question.
How do I make a Windows shortcut open 2 or more programs at the same time.

For an example, If I make a shortcut to open A.I.M, I also want to open MSN Messneger and Microsoft Word in that same shortcut.

I try putting
"c:\files\aim.exe" "c:\files\msn.exe" in the shortcut path and when i double clicked it, it only runs Aim or whatever comesfirst

I'm not sure that's possible. I'll look into it.

Otherwise, just make a batch file.

Well it may be possible to create some kind of launcher, but why bother?


Simple really


make a batch file, have it do what you want, then simply make a shortcut to the .bat

@ECHO OFF
:START
START C:\PROGRA~1\AIM95\aim.exe

START C:\PROGRA~1\m\youraimlocation.exe

exit


Check your .exe locations, but this should work. Paste in notepad and save as a .bat.
