Yep, sure, there are a few utilities to that effect:

Depending upon a few things, you may be better off just starting each of the applications from a batch file:

@echo off
start "" c:\myprogs\prog1.exe
start "" c:\myprogs\prog2.exe
start "" c:\myprogs\prog3.exe
start "" c:\myprogs\prog4.exe
exit

sub-note

Using the above syntax, you shouldn't have several cmd windows open!
