Hello.

Is there a way to run more than one executable programs from a single
Windows XP Pro. SP3's scheduled task?

Thank you in advance.

you could launch a batch file. It can launch several / many in sequence.

Sure is - put them all into a batch file, then schedule the batch file to
run at the required time.
@echo off
start /b "Task 1" "c:\program files\App1\app1.exe
start /b "Task 2" "c:\program files\App2\app2.exe
etc.

Yes. Make the scheduled task a batch file, and have the batch file run
whatever programs you want.

For example, create a batch file called scheduledtasks.bat and have it
look like this:

abc.exe
def.exe
ghi.exe

"The ant's a centaur in his dragon world. Pull down thy vanity, it is
not man... Made courage, or made order, or made grace,... Pull down thy
vanity, I say pull down. Learn of the green world what can be thy
place... In scaled invention or true artistry,... Pull down thy
vanity,... Paquin pull down! The green casque has outdone your
elegance." --Ezra Pound's poem
