Make a batch script that links to those files.

Put those files in the C: and not on the desktop
Open notepad
type the following indented lines into notepad, they do not need to be indented in notepad:

c:
program1
program2

Put the program executable names in place of that thing.
Save the file as a .bat file on your desktop so you can double click it to launch both of them.

also, some vpn programs have the feature to run a specific program after connecting. carefully comb through the options/preferences (if they arent locked out by a policy) of the vpn program, and you might be able to find an area to specify a program to run after connecting.

what is the vpn software, specifically? cisco, at&t, etc. ??

IM NOT SURE BUT REFLECTIONS2 IS WHAT I USE TO LOG INTO THE DATABASE AFTER I CONNECT TO THE VPN

I've got a company that uses reflections.

Just set a batch script like I said in the first post.

You could set it up with a PAUSE in between the programs, it would open one, pause until you hit a key, then open the second one.
