Is there a way to place into a folder several shortcuts to be activated with a single click? I would like to place my browser, antivirus, zonealarm and popcorn in a folder and be able open them all at the same time. Got any ideas? Thanks!

You could create a batch file that contains the paths of all of the programs you want to start, and then just double click that batch file to start them all.
cool! i just used notepad and typed in: C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.exe c:\WINDOWS\PBRUSH.exe then saved it to the desktop and named it untitled.bat. when i double clicked it it opened up both programs, one at a time! Want to get fancy?:)Right click the batch file, select the program tab then hit the change icon button! then you can pick a better looking icon for it! thanks lythium!

That's what your startup folder is all about. Just create a shortcut for each program in Windows/start menu/programs/startup. NAV does this automatically if you check the 'Start auto-protect' box in Options.
