Open notepad, type in (start "") then the full path to
the .exe of the program you want to start in another set
of quotes "C:\.....".(You can double click on the .exe in
the program files to check its the right one.). Then on
the next line do the same for the next program. save this
as MyPrograms.bat this is now a batch file if you either
double click on it or create a shortcut to it, it will
open all the programs on the list.
 
eg.

start "" "C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\Ad-
aware.exe"
start "" "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search &
Destroy\SpybotSD.exe"
start "" "C:\Program Files\Registry Mechanic\RegMech.exe"
start "" "C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\NAVW32.EXE"

(cleanup.bat)
