Dos and Multi Program shortcuts

by onlinegeek101 . Updated 18 years, 8 months ago

Im trying to make a shortcut to run 2 programs wiht one shortcut. I am doing this using batch files and dos type input. I cannot seem to figure how to get dos to run one application then continue the batch program to run the next. If i quit the first program i run then it continues the batch but i dont want to exit the program im trying to run in order to have it work( thats basically counter productive). Does anyone know how, or what the code would be to have dos run 2 programs consecutively with out ending the program that u ran originally. And if not does anyone know a different way to get to programs to run off a single shortcut. Thanks in advance.
