    Great tip, thanks!

    One thing that i’ve run into when doing this: the start command sometimes doesn’t work when the title parameter isn’t supplied. I’ve resorted to always doing:

    start “” /d “Path” file.exe

    There’s also a program that lets you write a text file with each line being either a file, program or web page URL and after you give the text file a .multifire file extension then when you double-click on it everything will be opened. You can download the Multifire software at http://sites.google.com/site/spiveyworks/multifire
