.bat file to open multiple programs

I've been trying to use SpamBayes with Outlook Express. Usually I'd have to open SpamBayes, then OE. I'm trying to create a .bat file so that I can run both in one click and ect.
I have no experience with this at all and this is as far as I got with it.
@ECHO off "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" "C:\Program Files\SpamBayes\spambayes-1.0a4\pop3proxy.pyc"
But it seems that whatever is first opens and the second one doesn't.
My overall goal was to launch SpamBynes minimized and delay the start of OE for 5 seconds (SpamBynes takes a few seconds to launch). Then OE would open in a maximised window.
If anyone could help me with this or point me to somewhere where I could find what I need to accomplish this then please help me.
