This seems to work, but I haven't done a lot of testing.

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\"
steam -applaunch 440
timeout 5
steam -applaunch 730

If you don't have Steam installed to the default location (or if you're using a 32bit OS), you'll need to edit the first line to point to your install directory.
The AppIDs should be changed to the games you're interested in running.
Timeout can be changed, but removing it was causing an error about a startup already in progress.

steam is not recognized as an internal or external command ,operable program or batch file.

That's not Steam, that's the command processor. Your batch file is wrong.

bat file was NOT wrong he didsnt said i had to drop it to steam file (where is steam.exe) , now its working as i see , i will check with 5 ~ game now

[ReBoot]

It is, you forgot the cd command (or ade it change into the wrong directory). Anyway, if you like your batch file in your Steam folder, you're done.

If it works in your Steam folder but not the Desktop, then Reboot is correct that the CD (Change Directory) command is not working. I'd recommend opening up the file explorer, navigating to the Steam folder and copy the address and then paste into the bat file. Maybe there's a regional difference in how Windows handle's the characters in the directory address or some other similarly annoying difference.

Or you could leave the bat file in the Steam directory and then create a shortcut to the bat file.

... or just switch to the steam:// protocol, that gets rid of directory switching all together.

Did you try that through CMD screen or batch file? It kept giving me the "not a recognized as an internal or external command" when I tried which is why I went the route I did. The browser protocols do work through the Run prompt but I'm not familiar with a method to make the CLI behave in a similar manner.

Doesn't matter, will work in an interactive session or a batch file.
