Create a command file somewhere (using notepad, notepad++ or any text editor), call it something like startup.cmd. Put the full path and filename to the .cmd file in your start menu group and remove the one that starts Reaper. Inside the cmd file, list the programs you want to run, optionally separated by TIMEOUT commands to delay a specified number of seconds. For example:
- Code: Select all
REM startup.cmd
"C:\Program Files\REAPER (x64)\Reaper.exe"
TIMEOUT 10
"c:\Program Files\Hauptwerk Virtual Pipe Organ\Hauptwerk.exe"
This will start Reaper, wait 10 seconds and then start HW. Add or remove commands as needed to get the desired sequence. You don't have to restart the computer to test the file, just open a command window and type the name of the cmd file (use the full path to it or open the command window in the same directory).
