EXE Loader Guide

---

1. Non-Steam Games

1. Copy EXEloader.exe and exefiles.cfg into the game directory where the target game EXE resides.
2. Open exefiles.cfg in Notepad and list each EXE you want to launch—one per line.
3. Save and close the CFG file.
4. In Steam (or your launcher), add a “Non-Steam Game” and point it at EXEloader.exe.
5. Launch via the new entry—EXEloader.exe will start every EXE listed in exefiles.cfg in that same folder.

2. Steam Games

1. Rename the original game EXE (e.g. Shadow Labyrinth.exe) to something like Shadow Labyrinth original.exe.
2. Copy EXEloader.exe and exefiles.cfg into the same folder.
3. Rename EXEloader.exe to the original game EXE name (Shadow Labyrinth.exe).
4. Edit exefiles.cfg in Notepad—add each EXE filename (including the renamed original).
5. Save and close the CFG file.
6. Launch the game via Steam’s “Play” button. The loader (now named Shadow Labyrinth.exe) will fire off every EXE listed in exefiles.cfg.

How It Works

• Loader EXE (EXEloader.exe) is simply a batch-backed starter.
• Config file (exefiles.cfg) lists everything you want to launch.
• On launch, the loader reads each non-empty, non-comment line and executes start "" <EXE> in that folder.
• Applying this trick under Steam—by renaming the loader to the original game EXE—lets you inject tools, trainers, overlays, etc., seamlessly.

Feel free to customize exefiles.cfg with relative paths (e.g. Cheat Engine\CheatEngine.exe) or full paths:
