hi there

i was wondering if there was a way to have a desktop shortcut open 2 programs at once....

it's probably not possible using the shortcut properties thing, but i thought maybe i could wite a .bat file to do it... the thing is... i don't know how

is this possible?

hmm, can you use a simple program like FS autostart and tell it not to start the sim?

I did a quick google search out there and wasn't able to come up with anything offhand, but I'll think about it some more and see if I can remember how to program something like that..

it's not for FS, actually... it's fot GTA

i got this camera mod which is a little program that runs in the background...

so i wanted to have just one icon i could click and it would open both this tool and GTA at the same time....

i know you can have .bat files to open other programs and do DOS stuff, so i thought why not a small .bat file which opens the 2 programs at once?

it shouldn't be too hard... i think it would only take 2 command lines, one to open each program, and then a 3rd one that quits the .bat file

the thing is, i don't know the command sintaxes and stuff

if anyone knows how... please help me

thanks in advance...

Use FSautostart ......... It will start any application you want it to.

Darth Moach... send me a PM with the exact location of the program's on your computer. I can set up a .BAT for you in about 30 seconds...

From my mistake trying to find FSAutostart... I discovered to my embarrassment that there is also an FSAutostartUp.  That is what it is designed for.

best,
