I'm usuallly working with about 5 apps on a continual basis. Is it possible to open all of them simultaneously by opening just one (ie. by opening MS Word, the spreadsheet, DB & other apps also open)?? Thx in advance.

you could write a batch script to do it, if you wanted to. Just open a file, write in the path to each file, like this :

start c:\program files\Microsoft Office\word.exe

Then, you could put all of them in one file, name the file with a .bat extension, and then that should do it. When you double click on the icon, it should open up all of those programs.

You'll have to check into the start command, though. I think that you need that in order for it to open one program after another, or move on after that program has been opened.

edit: just checked it-- start should work!
