This site has been enormously helpful and I love it. Two
questions:

1) Has anybody ever seen a file that will turn your
desktop "inside out"? I received it a few years ago in an
email and it's a hoot.

2) Is there any way to create a macro so that when I open
a certain online game (it's at Yahoo games), I can open 7
dictionary windows that I use every time?

Thanks for any help.
 
For #2, you can create a simple batch file to do this. Open Notepad, and
enter the following line for each program you want to launch:

start "<window title - this can be anything>" "<target program's path>"

For instance, if I wanted to launch Internet Explorer twice, I would have:
start "stuff" "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
start "stuff" "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

Save the file with a .cmd extension. For instance, save as "stuff.cmd"

When you launch the .cmd file, it will launch all the stuff you asked for.

If you're unsure of what your program's target is, right-click the program's
shortcut and go to Properties.
