Would a batch file work?

a batch file will work. just use notepad, then rename it to a .bat file.

I opened up notepad and typed in

C:\\Program Files\\Valve\\Steam

C:\\Program Files\\Xfire

and then saved it as Cs.bat
then I clicked on it and it doesnt do anything except quickly flash the command prompt up.

You need to find the .exe files and make the shortcuts go exactly to them.. ex: C:\\Program Files\\Xfire\\Xfire.exe

IE. If we want to start our pr0n DL'er and our pr0n viewer, then we would do this:

Code:

Code:

@echo off
call "C:\\STOELDMEGAHURTZ\\SECRET\\PASSWORD\\pr0nDL\\uTorrent.exe"
echo Launched prog. 1
call "C:\\pr0n\\MOAR\\winamp.exe"
echo Launched prog. 2
cls

Sorry for the filenames, but I'm really bored.
