HELP: Open two programs with one shortcut

[Dwolf]

hey, I'm looking for help creating a shortcut that can open two or more other shortcuts at the same time

I have a couple old games that I use nhancer to force full quality on (AA/AF), but I really don't want to start nhancer each time I want to play on of these games, nor do I feel like having it start with windows just for these few games. I like to minimize the resources used in the background, especially at startup, or when not used often

so I would like to create a shortcut/batch to open nhancer, and open the game of my choice at the same time

here is an example:

"C:\Program Files\KSE\nHancer 32bit\nHancer.exe" /tray
"C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 1942\BF1942.exe" +game XPack2

I can make a batch that starts just the 2 .exes, but getting the parameters to work are another question. The parameter on nhancer just minimizes it to a tray, which I want, and the +game xpack2 loads the expansion for bf1942.

Can someone please show me how to create a single shortcut that can load these two strings correctly.

Thanks

It's not necessary that nHancer is active. The profiles work even if nHancer is not running since they are automatically handled by the driver.

Having said that, if you still want to start multiple tools in one shortcut, you'd have to use batch files. A batch file is a text file with the file name extension ".bat". You can just use any text editor to add any number of commands into that file. Then you can start that batch file with a shortcut.

There's much more to write about batch files, but this isn't the place for this. But you can find any number of info about that topic in the internet.
