Is there some way to get some commands carried out between clicking on
a Windows app icon and the .exe file for that app executing?

Example: Map a Novell drive letter to a particular CD ROM before the
exe file associated with that CD starts.

I've read up about PIF files but they seem only to be for
starting/running non-Windows apps from Windows.
