It's been a really long while for me, too, but this is what I remember..

locate the absolute path of the two programs. If they're both command prompt-like windows, then that's perfect. For example, i'll say both of the files are in C:\Runme. Your batch file will resemble:

C:\Runme\Runfirst.exe
C:\Runme\Runlast.exe
exit

Now that above should run the programs and then immediately close the initial command prompt window, as well. If this isn't exactly what you were looking for, a little more info and I could dredge up a better solution.
