To start applications sequentially create a shell script something like
this.

-------------mystartup.cmd-------------
start "" "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\outlook.exe"
start "" "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\word.exe"
start "" "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe"
---------------end file------------------

No but you can use script :
Make a new bat file in C:\Windows\ with following lines :
start "" %1
start "" %2

Now you can create a shortcut and give the program names as parameter :
nameOfBatFile "Program 1 Path" "Program 2 Path"

Yes. Write a batch file and invoke them both in the batch file. Then create
and use a shortcut to that batch file.
