Place the target lines for the various applications into
a batch file, then use the shortcut to launch the batch
file.

- Click Start / Run
- Type notepad c:\Windows\MyApps.bat {OK}
- Paste the following lines into notepad:
@echo off
start "Word" "c:\program files\microsoft office\office11\winword.exe"
start "Excel" "c:\program files\microsoft office\office11\excel.exe"
- Save and close the file
- Create a shortcut to c:\windows\MyApps.bat

I copied the program names and locations from the "Target"
field of the specific shortcut into this batch file.
