2. In "Run" Enter "Cmd", open the console mode, and then switch the current directory to "C:Ordered Launch". After switching the directory, enter the command "DIR /B /S > ordered.bat". Then enter the command "notepad ordered" .bat", open the newly created batch file, you can arrange the self-starting project into the order you want in the open notepad. It should be noted that each project needs to be enclosed in quotation marks and use " Start", for example: start "C: Ordered LaunchFirst Program.lnk".
