Launching two apps at same time

[Rockinghorse Winner]

Does anyone know of a command line or app to launch 2 or more apps at once,
(and, as an added bounus, position them on the screen)? For instance, I would
like to have one shortcut or command to run Winamp and Winamp Bar. There are
more examples I could give, but I think you get the point.

I just use a batch file. I needed to make sure word opened before outlook so
here is my simple code to achieve it.

REM: Outlook.cmd
@Echo off
cd /d "e:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11"
start winword
start outlook
exit

Works like a champ.
