Use 1 shortcut to open multiple programs?

Is it possible to make one shortcut open multiple programs? Such as, a shortcut called IM Programs and have it open skype and AIM, or Gaming and have it open steam, xfire, and AIM, or something like that?
 
1) Find the commands you need to run. They're usually the .exe files in each program's main folder. Test each one in a command prompt to make sure it runs when you call it up.
2) Make a new text file (such as in Notepad) and for the text, use each program's executable command from step 1. Use a new line for each program.
3) Name the text file whatever you want, but change the extension from .txt to .bat to make it a batch file.

It's awfully simple, but that's how a lot of things used to work when DOS was king.
