title: Scripting environment setup in windows
body: <p>When I start my day programming (using windows 7), I have a bunch of windows I'd like open and ready:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>command prompt in my code directory running the DevNull smtp java server</li>
  <li>command prompt in the tomcat\bin directory with startup.bat running after rmdir /S /Q'ing work and test webapp directories</li>
  <li>IntelliJ running</li>
  <li>after tomcat loads (fine with just having a timer), Firefox with my webapp loaded</li>
  <li>after tomcat loads, Chrome with my webapp loaded</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Those are pretty core...  then it depends on what exactly I'm working on as far as other apps I need open.</p>
  
  <p>So how do I write a script I can double click on and have all the above ready for me, saving me a couple minutes each day and a little less annoying getting started?  I know about .bat files, is it easy to do the above with a .bat file?  Is there a nice app that can easily do the above for me?</p>
