This part should be easy...

Just use an editor to create a cmd file (let's call it "twoprogs.cmd") that
contains the name of the program to be run first (say, "prog1.exe", followed
on the next line by the name of the program to be run when that program ends
("prog2.exe"); then right-click on that cmd file in a directory listing and
click on properties, then on the icon tab. Now use the icon find and edit
functions, first to find the icon of the prog1 program and then to save it
as "twoprogs.ico".

That way all looks as it originally did... ie, you have an icon with an
appearance identical to the original one to invoke the program: when you
click on the twoprogs icon, it will invoke prog1; when you end prog1 (NOT
cancel the window), prog2 will launch.
