(Help) opening 2 applications at once with one ICOn, or docklet

Hello, I was just wondering if anybody has seen possible, to open 2 applications from one Dcklet or icon,

for example i like Thundeerbird but to to get my Hotmail from it i ned to open hotpop.exe,

is there a way so that when i click on the Thuderbird icon in YZ DOCK, it will open 2 applications at once thundebird and hotpop, using some sort of parameters or Arguments,

you could do this with a vbs script, drop the script on your dock, then give it a pretty picture. also, you could do the same with a bat file.

thanks that opened one application, only though Thunderbird.exe, I am still having trouble with Hotpop.exe the second file i want to open, it gives me a error saying that it can't find the application however i know its there and it exists in C:Program FilesHotmail Popperhotpop.exe

any help regarding this issue

This is what i put in the batch file:

@echo off

start thunderbird.exe

start hotpop.exe

exit

Not even if I put this:

@echo off

start thunderbird.exe

start C:Program FilesHotmail Popperhotpop.exe

Both of those solutions only open one application, does it have something to do with the regestry
