Manage updates with the Download App
Okay, I am brand new to scripting. The most I've don't was edit some autoexecs for games. Yeah, pretty noobish. SO, lucky for you guys that my question is very simple too.
Really, all I want to do it make a notepad file that will open a few programs at once so that way I don't have to go through a short process to get Skyrim to open. Currently, I have to open an FPS booster, run Skyrim with the SKSE, then run my SBW. Pardon the nerd-language. Once again, run something to boost my frames, run a script extender which allows certain mods to work, then run a small program to get my windowed Skyrim to run in a borderless windowed full-screen mode. As I said I know little-nothing about scripting, but I figured it would be something as simple as:
run C:\(path to booster)
run C:\(path the SKSE)
wait x seconds for Skyrim to load up
run C:\(path to SBW)
Can anybody help me out with this? It would save me a lot of time, and probably encourage me to write other simple scripts for other things and therefore make me feel like i know what I'm doing.

not Mac or Linux, there's no need for scripting. A batch file will be enough.
A batch file (make it with Notepad, save as "all file types (*.*)" with extension .bat contains just the commands you would type into the command processor to do this. That's just the path to program to run a program.
There's no wait command, but http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/32227-batch-wait-cmd/ shows a workaround, using ping with a time-out.
That should be all. Scripting is a rather specialised task. Making a batch file is common practise since the days of MS-DOs 2.11. When I started with that in 1987, every computer user could do it (using a text editor called edlin, because Notepad only came to exist in Windows).
