Sometime we need to launch two or more programs at a time. What we do, we click the shortcut twice of those two different files to launch the programs.
An example will make you understand the situation better. Suppose, you need to open Notepad and Calculator almost every time. We will create a batch file, so that, on double clicking the batch file both programs (say Calculator and Notepad) will open at a time.
Open Notepad. Write the code:
@echo off
rem Notepad
cd %windir%\system32
start notepad.exe
rem Calculator
cd %windir%\system32
start calc.exe
exit
It will look like this:
Now, click File > Save as.. and save it with the name you like with bat extension. For example, we have saved it as Notepad_Calculator.bat. Do not forget to change the file type from text files to all files:
You will get the batch file, just double click to launch the programs at a time:
