* Two Applications on single short cut *

[Kumaran]

Dear Users,
I'm using Win XP Pro.
Would it be possible to start two applications from a single shortcut on
desktop.
I don't want to use batch file...

Thanks

Regards
Kumaran

You do know you can have a shortcut to a batch file, right? Why is that unacceptable? You could
also use a script.

Enter a command line like:
cmd.exe app1 & app2 & app3 ....

I've never tried that myself. Do you actually separate the filenames by the
[&] sign or semi-colon or just a space or what?

Oops. Missed /c: cmd.exe /C app1 & app2 & app3 ....
But you already got the idea.

It's all in help under Command Shell Overview.

There's &, &&, ||, (), and ;. (commas and periods here are mine). Don't =
forget to look up command redirection as well. Also in the For command =
you'll see how to pull out parts of file names.
