Automating application start by using scripts on XP

Automating application start by using scripts on XP When I come to work, I spent several boring minutes running my applications. I start IDE, mail client, web browser, bug tracking system, Total Commander, ProcessExplorer and DebugView. Most of those tools I use for everyday work. It takes long time to start them all.

"Have you tried using the start command.

When you run a 32-bit graphical user
interface (GUI) application, cmd does
not wait for the application to quit
before returning to the command
prompt. This new behavior does not
occur if you run the application from
a command script.

There is a useful guide to the start command here."

"You can use vbscript as follows :

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject(""WScript.Shell"")
ObjShell.Exec(""FullPath"")
ObjShell.Exec(""FullPath1"")
ObjShell.Exec(""FullPath2"")
...."
