Chris Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Open Notepad...Enter the following:START "" "C:\Program Files\AIDA32 - Personal System Information\aida32.exe" START "" "C:\Program Files\AIM\aim.exe"CLSEXITSave the file as Shortcut.batYou can save it under any name but it must have the .bat extension.When it is saved, another file will appear this is the one you want.Try it on your desktop.Obviously change the paths to your applications.

expertec Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 So does Defrag not keep restarting because of disk activity? Or this being the great Windoze XP is that no longer an issue? :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Smith Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 OK then powerless, how about if you want to choose between two different programs when you double click a file?? :huh: For example, lets say you have both Access97 and Access2000 and want to choose which version launches when you double click on a .mdb file.Mr. M.
