Yes, with a script. I haven't tried it myself but, based on a previous post I read around here it is doable. I will look for the link.

Yes.

Use the Run Command under WSH. The won't launch at exact same time but pretty close.

Something like this:

Dim App1, App2
App1 = "C:\Program Files\Program1.exe"
App2 = "C:\Program Files\Program1.exe"

Sub Control_OnMouseDown
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run App1
WshShell.Run App2
End Sub

Why you ungrateful...! .. Only kidding - there's like a split second gap between each launch .. So you'd hardly notice it.. You should WSH and WMI they are fun (although sometimes problematic) - Check out DesktopX's Script Help thing
