Launch multiple programs at once?
 

When I sit down to play, I open UB, PT, GT+ and a PDF of starting hands. Does WinXP have a way to automate this? Or do I make a dos batch file and shortcut to that? Need help, far to anxious to play to sit there and double click 4 times!

Print out the PDF. (2 clicks saved)

Add shortcuts to UB, PT, and GT+ to your toolbar. (3 clicks saved).

That's five out of eight clicks eliminated, and you'll never have to click on the PDF again.

Develop some patience. You sound like you'll need it.

Oh, and I suppose you could write a batch file to automate all this. But you sound pretty anxious to play.

Let us know whether or not you make it through all that clicking! It's tough, but I'm sure you'll manage!

Go to this web site, Auto Hot Key download Auto Hot Key with MenuScript.ahk(Found on their forum.) it let's you use your middle mouse wheel to launch applications. Edit the script to fit your needs.

or you could write your own script that launches all of your programs automatically. That seems like it'd be the best way.

I don't play on UB, so I'm not familiar with its interface, but I suspect it's mouse-based. If so, consider your initial octuple-click to be a light, but brisk, warmup exercise in preparation of the thousands of single- and double-clicks you'll make for the next few hours. You don't want to misclick when you've got money in front of you, now do you?

Also, don't forget to stretch.
