Re: to make windows open programs with one click

I would like to make windows open some specific programs with one
click.

For instance I would like winamp and skype to start with one click
instead of

clicking each of their icons.

I first tried to create a batch file like

______

start C:\CEDT\CTAZWIN.EXE

start C:\xxx\xxx.EXE

exit

_________



This works but for some programs it does not work for some reason I
dont know.


What you're doing is fine, and it should work for all programs. If you're
having a problem, please tell us exactly which programs it doesn't work
with, supply the exact text of the batch file you're using, and tell us
exactly what happens when you run the batch file, including the exact
verbatim text of any error messages you receive.
