Is there any way to click one icon and open up multiple programs?

Can I set it up so that I have one icon, and when I click it, UB, PT, GT+, Ultimate History and Ultimate Buddy all open up at the same time? That would be badass.

Create a batch file and make the icon link to that

Make a file called poker.bat.

Open it up with Notepad and put each program's location on one line like this:

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>C:\Program Files\Poker Tracker\GameTimePlus.exe
C:\Program Files\UltimateBet\Ubet.exe</pre><hr />

etc.

You will probably need quotation marks at the beginning and end of each line.

So I open up notepad and type:

@ECHO OFF
ECHO.
ECHO This is a batch file
ECHO.
CALL "C:\Program Files\Poker Tracker V2\ptrack2.exe"
CALL "C:\Program Files\UltimateBuddy\UltimateBuddy.exe"
CALL "C:\Program Files\UltimateBet\UltimateBet.exe"
CALL "C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop\UltimateHistory.exe"
CALL "C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop\GameTimePlus.exe"
CLS
EXIT

Then I save it as a .bat file.

I double click the file, the MS DOS screen pops up, and loads ptrack2.exe. But it doesn't load UltimateBuddy.exe or anything after ptrack2.exe until I close ptrack2.exe. After I close ptrack2.exe, UltimateBuddy.exe loads up. UltimateBet.exe doesn't load until I close UltimateBuddy.exe, and so on and so forth. How do I make it so that all the programs open simultaneously?

i had the same problem so here's what i did.

@ECHO OFF
START EmpirePoker
START ptrack2.exe
START Playerview
CLS
EXIT

save as poker.bat in my pokertracker folder. then i took shortcuts to Empire and PV and named them Empirepoker and Playerview and put them in the PT directory too (you have to do this). it works.
