Yes, I could. I would probably use START to open them all.

I could also run them from the STARTUP.CMD file -- I have several
programs in there too.

There is a program in my Startup folder called TCPSTART.CMD (it's in
\tcpip\bin\). Should I run this before running any programs which
connect to the Internet? Should I move it to my STARTUP.CMD file?

\Desktop\ here. I just tested this -- from a command line I created the
directory TemporaryTest\ in \Desktop\ and it instantly showed up as a
folder on the Desktop.

He's working on it. I think the latest couple of releases have some of
this (I'm registered but I'm several releases behind thus haven't
checked).
