I'm also confused on why there would be different exes. I wouldn't go that way. Why don't you have one exe running one startup file that defines all the settings, brings up your main menu form with the buttons that run various functions. I'm not sure why those various functions need to be separate exes. Maybe I need it explained more?
If you need separate desktop icons that automatically run a certain function, then you call the one exe you have, passing in the parameter from the icon. Your startup file would then look to see if a parameter was passed in, and if so go directly to that part of the program.

My entire app is one exe and I include the engine and is only about 11 Meg.
