Setting Up A Shortcut To Open Multiple Programs

[IggyWH]

I did a search but I'm unsure of specific terms so my search was no good. I'm looking for instructions on how to setup a shortcut icon that will open up all my poker apps. If you could point me that way, or tell me what I need to type, I would appreciate it.

[TheIrishThug]

u can get auto hotkey or just us a batch script. either way is pretty simple.

[Mogobu The Fool]

This is actually functionality I'm planning to add to PartyPlanner eventually.

Otherwise, I second the previous recommendations.

[Adde]

Here's my AutoHotkey script for doing this. It will:

* Open Partypoker, click Login, move lobby to upper left, click button to make table list longer.

* Open allSnap.

* Open Pokertracker, start import timer, do a force import, minimize window.

* Start PokerAce Hud minimized.

* Start Auto Resizer, init my preferred settings, move it to secondare monitor, minimize it.

(For Partypoker to work you have to place a shortcut copy (PartyPoker.lnk) in "PartyGaming/PartyPoker" folder.)

here's a quick batch file
1) open up notepad
2) paste in this code (add/remove/change based upon what you want to open)

@echo off
cd "c:\program files\poker tracker v2"
start ptrack2.exe
cd "c:\program files\pokerstove"
start pokerstove.exe

3) save as whatever name you like with a .bat extension
4) create a shortcut on your desktop or wherever you like
5) waaaaalllllaaaaahhhhhh....you're done...

hope it helps

adde...just so i know...how do you run the AHK script? any easy directions or how to modify for stars? i keep seeing the AHK scripts posted but don't have any idea what to do with them...thanks...

[jukofyork]

Hey, I think I will borrow this until I get time to add the ability to remember settings for AutoResizer.

Never thought about making a AHK script to open all the poker utils, but this looks pretty good idea! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ]Install AutoHotKey. Save the script as a txt file with the extension ".ahk". Double click on the file.

[/ QUOTE ]Obviously all the sections like AllSnap and Pokertracker will work fine. For the others, you can just modify the AllSnap section for an easy PStars script.

Sam,
thanks for the response...actually easier than i thought...maybe i'll play around a little tonight....
i like the idea he had with Party and getting to login screen...
any easy way to do something similar for Stars?
Note: i'm pretty sure i'm following how to just open stars (ie using something similar to the allsnap section)...but curious how to take it the step further like he did with the Party lobby and login....
thanks for your help...love learning new stuff....

also for poker tracker...he has it set to auto import party...would i just have to change where he has party to stars?

[Adde]

For Pokerstars, replace "PARTYPOKER" and "POKERTRACKER" with these.

Will not work if Pokerstars puts up a message alert though. I got the alert one time, but every other time I login it won't show up, so I can't test the script to include this.
