Is there a way to....

Make some kind of icon that when clicked will launch several programs. Specifically FRAPS, Precession and RealTemp?

You could sshortcut to a batch file, using the start command
Like

Put in a file
Start "1" "c:\fraps.path.exe"
Start "2" "c:\neother.exe"

Rename it to
Startall.bat
Or what ever and use that

Yep, BAT file is the best way. I need to make one sometime soon to reorder a bunch of files into folders of each files name. Is a bat file the way I should go about this, Sirex?

Like this and for this very reason.

Question is, I already have some folders. These should be exempt from the script right? I don't want folders to be created for existing folders hehe.

Depends how complicated your moving is.
It maybe possible but overly complicated if your needs are a little more.

I have a folder called 'Movies'. In that folder is a mix of subfolders and video files. Each subfolder has been created manually and is named after each movie within it. Ex D:/Movies/Iron Man/Iron Man.mkv. I want to have something automated to move the remaining video files within the 'Movies' folder into subfolders named after them. I have about 40 folders that need creating, and even though I can type pretty quickly, I'm getting lazy in my old age. Hell, I've even got task scheduler shutting my PC down every night.

Thanks, that worked. I still have the warning messages asking me if its ok for those programs to make changes, I'm uneasy about reducing the level of protectino from the windows UAC.

[Sirex]

You could start run
Cmd
Open/run
Cd d:/movies
Dir *.mkv > list.txt
And edit those in the list.txt file
Start each line mkdir
If the name has spaces enclose in " at each end
When done rename to .bat and run it from cmd

Good instinct. Staying at reduced authority (as a security measure) is good because anything sneaking onto your PC will inherit your authority to do bad things. Depends on the risk we choose to accept.

It would be nice to have an option to allow a specific program to run without the warning though.

You can if i mind right, dont hold me to this as not near my pc...
If you goto the programs folder on the drive.
Right click the program - properties, there is im sure a setting on that dialog or in a button to run as admin always.
I know shortcuts do it.

I gave that a try but no luck.

[Sirex]

Ill have a look later, know i have had to do it in the past for a few things.

[Sirex]

Maybe its just my uac level and that admin tick box did the trick...

This might cover what you want to do:

Still seems to manual for my liking lol. All those 'mkdir' entries.
