How to start many programs in a menu icon?

Post by *Rafa »

I have many customized buttons to start diferent aplications, but I´d like to start many programs with a click button,
How can you do this?

I tried in the command

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\SketchBook\SketchBook.exe","E:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe","e:\Program Files (x86)\PenAttention\PenAttention.exe","E:\Program Files (x86)\SpeedCrunch\speedcrunch.exe","E:\Program Files\HyperSnap 8\HprSnap8.exe"

but tthe second opne is taken as a parameter for the first one, I think.

Then I tried with a .bat without double quotes, ... then with double quotes...
@echo off
"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\SketchBook\SketchBook.exe"
"E:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe"
"e:\Program Files (x86)\PenAttention\PenAttention.exe"
"E:\Program Files (x86)\SpeedCrunch\speedcrunch.exe"
"F:\Program Files (x86)\CASIO\ClassWiz Emulator Subscription\fx-570SP_991SP X_X II Emulator\fx-570SP_991SP X_X II Emulator.exe"
"E:\Program Files\HyperSnap 8\HprSnap8.exe"

then with the start
@echo off
start "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\SketchBook\SketchBook.exe"
start "E:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe"
start "e:\Program Files (x86)\PenAttention\PenAttention.exe"
start "E:\Program Files (x86)\SpeedCrunch\speedcrunch.exe"
start "F:\Program Files (x86)\CASIO\ClassWiz Emulator Subscription\fx-570SP_991SP X_X II Emulator\fx-570SP_991SP X_X II Emulator.exe"
start "E:\Program Files\HyperSnap 8\HprSnap8.exe"

Can you help me?

What is the problem with your bat ?
start is the good option if you add fake title :

Code: Select all

start "" [/wait] "<pgm to launch>"
  • START ["title"] [/D path] [/I] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/SEPARATE | /SHARED]
    [/LOW | /NORMAL | /HIGH | /REALTIME | /ABOVENORMAL | /BELOWNORMAL]
    [/NODE <N=start helpUMA node>] [/AFFINITY <hex affinity mask>] [/WAIT] [/B]
    [command/program] [parameters]
If you want to start multiple application at once, you can create a bat as you did or :
  • For Each application to launch:
    • Create a user command em_<Pgm>
    • You can use cm_CommandBrowser -> go to usercmd.ini and new then select the pgm to launch ...
You can aggregate multiple em_<Pgm> in a button using "," as separator

Code: Select all

em_SketchBook, em_ODS, em_PenAtt.......
