I wonder if you can make 1 shortcut on your desktop to 2 different programs? Like, when I click on a shortcut I want 2 different programs to start. I'm not very good at computers. So, can somebody help me?

An easy way would be to create a batch file. say you wanted to start both notepad and paint open notpad and type the following @echo off c:\windows\notepad.exe c:\windows\paint.exe Obviously change the c:\ location to the location of the two diffent programs you want to run. A quick way to find out there location is to find the icon that it has, right click on it and go to properties then its the text under target. Then all you have to do is save the file as something.bat then make the shortcut to the desktops target as something.bat Hope this helps Scott

I don't understand why people ask this type of questions sometime. What's the benefits?

Thank you very much, Scott :) Thanx!

Truth, if you can't see the benefits, then you are quite the idiot. Understand???

There are benefits; no doubt about it. Here's a perfect example... Opening CorelDraw & Photo-Paint at same time. Been doing it for years... it's a nice little option. Go with Scott's excellent repsonse and you'll be on your way in no time. Good luck...
