How do you make a shorcut that launches 2 appz?

yea im running xp. So is there a way to run two programs at once in xp? Also can i make the batch file close the cmd prmpt if i could make one?
 
Follow all the links within this thread to learn to write batch files.

To close the command prompt at the end... just type EXIT as the last line inside the batch file.
 
forgive me for being an idiot but i didnt think you could do this in a batch file. batch files run one line of code at a time, right? so if you have two lines, one for each program you want to run, the batch file would actually wait for the first program to close before launching the 2nd

Click to expand...

Thats why you would use the start command, as in:

start notepad.exe
start calc.exe
