Windows 8 - How to create a shortcut that opens several programs

Question

I want to make a shortcut which opens sublime text, chrome and 2 git bash consoles and types some commands in it, and resizes the windows.

Is it possible to do it ?

PS: I tried .bat but when i try to open git bash it opens it in terminal (on current terminal) so it can't go on

Answer 1

Use bat file with content:

For execution file not in PATH environment variable, use:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\bash.exe" --login

For execution file in PATH environment variable, use:

start bash --login

Answer 2

You can create a shortcut on the desktop to a bat file:

• Right-click an open area on the desktop, point to New, and then click Shortcut.
• Click Browse.
• Locate the bat file to which you want to create a shortcut, bat file, click Open, and then click Next.
• Type a name for the shortcut. If a Finish button appears at the bottom of the dialog box, click it. If a Next button appears at the bottom of the dialog box, click it, click the icon you want to use for the shortcut, and then click Finish.

Contents of the bat file:

1. @echo off
2. start "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\change.log"
3. start chrome.exe
4. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i

1st row: Switch off showing running process.

2nd row: Start program by path with a parameter (In this case Notepad++ opened own change.log file. The path is required, otherwise the file will not open).

3rd row: Run program without parameters.

4th row: Run program with parameters.
