Is there a way to open all my pre selected programs with one click?

Hey folks, I was wondering if there is any way to save desktop layouts in windows. Not my icon layouts. I'm referring to having multiple programs open at once.

I would like to start windows and click an icon that will open my redefined setup with programs I've selected.

It's getting to be a little time consuming open up all my programs just to get set up.

Are there any programs that can do this?

 

Look into auto-hotkey.

 

This might work. Thanks. I'll check it out and let you know how it goes.
