Create a shortcut for each command that you want to run. If the commands you are trying to run are native DOS commands and not EXE files, then you'll have to put the commands in a batch file and call that batch file from the shortcut. Next, create a "master" batch file that calls all the others using the following syntax:

Start shrtcut1.pif
Start shrtcut2.pif
Start shrtcut3.pif
etc
etc

... In Addition:
if it is Batch files i mind -
call 1.bat
call 2.bat
call 3.bat
Etc..

You have to use call because if not - the first batch file executed from the original will terminate the original Batch file Execution.

Gabriel, to clarify - the CALL command will not open a new DOS window which is what he wants to do. The START command will open a new window for each command, though.
