You need to specify the full path...
start "" "D:/Programs/Some Program/Some program name.exe"
start "" "C:/Program Files/some other program/some file.exe"
And place that in a text file and rename it to whatever you want but replace .txt with .bat
NOTE: Be sure to use the quote marks exacly as I did, since the syntax for start is not self-explainatory.
If you still can't make it happen, then you should stop trying and just start them by their icons...
Additionally (but not entirely sure if this works), if you want the script to run when Windows starts you can make a shortcut or place the file directly in: %appdata%/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Startup (just paste that in the address of file explorer window)

Any errors ? You can add pause at the end of the script to make it require a key to continue so it doesn't close right away.
You could also do it without the start "" prefix, like Alientcp said, but you must use quotes around it because in case it contains a space.
So like:
"D:\Programs\Some Program\Some program name.exe"
"C:\Program Files\some other program\some file.exe"
pause
You don't need the pause command if it works fine.

Open a notepad.
Type
C:Program Filesmalwarebytesmalware.exe
c:popcorntimeprogram.exe
this is just a reference. You are the one that has the programs installed, you have the proper routes.
once you have it, rename that .txt to .bat either by showing the extensions or directly from the console.
for some reason the site is removing the slash

Umm, only Malwarebytes Pro blocks bad URLs. You've got that, yeah? If you've got the free version, it doesn't do any sort of resident protection.
If you do, it runs at PC startup (or should), and you can right click its' icon in the tasktray to enable or disable "Malicious Website Protection". I fail to see the need for / use of a shortcut / .bat file to run its' main .exe.

Hmm, that seems extremely fishy, as if something is blocking it / preventing it from starting. Perhaps you've got some malware / virus infection already. To be safe, I'd reboot to safe mode (with networking), and use MWB's Chameleon thingy to run MWB, update it, and run a full scan. I'd also download and use their rootkit scanner.

I don't want to start Malwarebyte with my PC (My PC is pretty slow when starting up) so I've disabled it. It just starts up after 20 mins. I scanned my PC with it and it found nothing. Also, it isn't really good idea to boot to safe mode, as Malwarebytes said that it'll block some things they want to scan. I also use their Rootkit scanner, AdwCleaner and sometimes Roguekiller ;)

"Also, it isn't really good idea to boot to safe mode, as Malwarebytes said that it'll block some things they want to scan"? This makes no sense.. Where does it say this?

Here is one place where it sais so.
This isn't really a false positive, but in your case, it's nothing to worry about since you've run it & triggered this from Windows safe mode. Fixing what mbam found sets the startup to automatic (enabled) again.
Main reason why this is targetted is because some malware do disable this service, so since we cannot determine whether this service is disabled by malware or because you run in Windows safe mode, hence why we detect anyway, just to make sur.

...to launch 2 programs using one shortcut/icon? I want to launch Popcorn Time and Malwarebytes on same time (Malwarebytes blocks some bad URLs)
