Is it possible to create a desktop shortcut that will open two programs that
are interdependant on each other at the same time.?

Yes, a simple batch file should work, but I don't know the exact
syntax.. Start off by opening Wordpad, type in the following lines and
save as a .bat file:

Start program1
Start program2

Here's a post I found on the Start command:

"Use the START command:

start C:\PROGRA~1\NETWOR~1\BLACKICE\BLACKICE.EXE
start IEXPLORE

Here is the command syntax for START.EXE:
=======================================================
Runs a Windows program or an MS-DOS program.

START [options] program [arg...]
START [options] document.ext

/m[inimized] Run the new program minimized (in the background).
/max[imized] Run the new program maximized (in the foreground).
/r[estored] Run the new program restored (in the foreground). [default]
/w[ait] Does not return until the other program exits. "
