Open Notepad and copy and paste the following lines below:
@echo off
Start "IE" "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
Start “Firefox” "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
Start "Chrome" "C:\Users\Suprotim\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
Start "Safari" "C:\Program Files\Safari\safari.exe"
Save the notepad file with the .bat extension. Now to open all these browsers at once, just execute the .bat file by double clicking it
Note: To know the location of the browser .exe on my machine, I used a simple technique of checking the properties of the browser shortcut and copying the path from the ‘Target’ field. For example: Here’s how the path of the Internet Explorer (IE) .exe can be obtained

@echo off
start Copy1.txt
start Copy2.txt
start Copy3.pdf
Save the notepad file with the .bat extension in the same folder where the .txt and .pdf files are kept. Now to open all these files at once, just execute the .bat file by double clicking it
