Is it possible to open two separate executable (.exe) files with one short cut? I know that you can open word.exe and then blah.doc but is there any possible way to open two .exe files together? The two .exe's that i need to open are totally separate and one cannot open the other, i just need a single shortcut to open them both simultaniously. Really would like some reply, thanks!

Opening two files with one shortcut

Hi
There may be a better way but here is one solution.
Write a batch file that launches on program then the other like so :
{filepath program 1}\{filename program 1}
{filepath program 2}\{filename program 2}
eg.
C:\Progra~1\Micros~1\Office\Winword.exe
C:\Progra~1\Micros~1\Office\Excel.exe
This would open Word and Excel with the one shortcut.
Hope this helps
