Line length Limit?

Using SysMenu I've built a "Troubleshooting Tools" "disk" to be able to work on other computers. When I do so I want to begin by loading my normal desktop environment ( since an as-installed Windoze desktop is just about worthless). And, once again, I have a problem with paths.
(1) I built a "Startup.cmd" file for the 6 apps I want to load - trying ".\Sysmenu|\App\App.exe" and "#:\SysMenu\App\App.exe" for paths but when SysMenu passes these paths to CMD and CMD reads the file it doesn't have a drive to start from so it's lost. And I can't specify a drive in advance.
(2) So instead of pointing SM to an existing CMD file I used SM's own command option. I linked all 6 commands together (with " & ") on a single line. But that only starts 4 of the six apps because SM appears to have a string length limit for entering commands. My full single line command is 381 characters long but if I attempt to "scroll" to the end of the line it only shows about 2/3 of it so I assume that there's some internal limit that cuts off the end of my command.
So how can I manually (no autostart) start up the 6 apps I want with one click?
