Use a Batch file.

You can also try playing with lopardo's Apploader

I know its advertised for MSN, but you can use it for other things :P

RE: dual program starting
make a text file with a list of programs and their parameters to run, and save it as a .bat file. you can create a shortcut to that.

I just tried and yes, it's that simple :P

Open notepad, and make a file like this
code:
X:\Directory\File.exe
X:\File.exe


Save as.. "Shortcut.bat" All type of files and then run it :P

By the way, maybe you'll have to ask one of the other members for help on this because with this way, a program will only be executed when you exit the one before it on the list :(

RE: dual program starting
put "start" before them and they'll all execute at once.
