Does anyone know is there is a way to make a shortcut open more than one file at a time?

create a small batch file containing the path/filename of the
progs you want to start.
Do this in Notepad(sorry if I'm presuming)then rename
file extension from .txt to .bat - then go into properties for
the .bat file and make it close on exit,choose an icon, and
run minimised.Place the file wherever you want and
create a shortcut on your desktop by drag and drop.
Then simply by double clicking your chosen icon all your
stated programs will run.

eg.
Progstart.bat

c:\program files\Internet explorer\iexplore.exe
c:\program files\DCF\dcf.exe
c:\program files\atguard\iamapp.exe
