Open multiple programs at once in XP

When we need to open multiple programs at once, what do we do? We go to Start menu -> Choose All programs -> Select the Application you want to launch, again we start from the start from the Start menu. So what does XP provide us for this. Although this is a easy and simple tip, most people don't know this, so i thought of posting this here.

Here we go
1. Click the Start menu and point to All Programs.
2. When the menu opens, press and hold the Shift key and browse the menu, clicking the icons of the programs that you want to open. Each program launches without closing the All Programs menu.
