"Dual links"?

[the_hofers]

Hi, Q: Is there the possibility of "dual links" in XP, i.e. links whereby to open two files at the same time? Now I open Ad-Watch (which comes with Ad-Aware Pro and which I don't want to start at system startup for reasons irrelevant here) and then my browser, i.e. Crazy Browser. Would be nice if one click could do both jobs. BTW, I've implemented both links in "hardware" (2 of the 6 "start buttons" of my Acer 371 TMi), so does anyone know of an Acer-specific trick whereby to have one such button open two files at the same time?). Thx.

batch file ???

I'm no expert on windows, but I strongly doubt that there is any native way to do that (with shortcuts, not talking about batch files). There are however program launcher applications which can do just what you asked.
Some are listed here http://www.winappslist.com/utilities/launchers1.htm
