Starting Multiple Programs Simultaneously

Hi, recently I just thought of something that would help in my computer's memory usage but haven't found a way to do this yet. Basically what I would like to do is for every time that I open a program for it to also start (and run) related programs while it is still in use and when closing the program for the program to also close the related programs (this wouldn't be with all programs, just the ones I wanted to do this for, can only think of one at the moment though). For instance, I would like for my computer to start and run CacheSentry and IE Window Maximizer when Internet Explorer starts so that I don't have to have them running in memory all the time and just wasting space and time. I haven't found any programs that could do this for me and I'm not sure if this would work when opening the properties window for the executed program. Preferably I would like this to occur everytime the program is started so a batch file would not really do anything in this situation except be another annoyance. So, basically my question is is this possible? If so, how would I go about doing it?

 

You could use a visual basic script. This is one I adapted from another script I found online. It opens Ypops then Outlook afterward so I can check Yahoo mail with it and when I close Outlook, it closes Ypops also.

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.CurrentDirectory = "C:\Progra~1\YPOPs\"
objShell.run """C:\Program Files\YPoPs\ypops.exe""",0
objShell.run """C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE""",3,true
iReturn = objShell.Run("cmd /c start C:\Progra~1\YPOPs\ypops.exe /QUIT",0)
