As an alternative, I'd suggest using AutoHotKey, which would easily handle this (better than Powershell and Batch, in my opinion).

As a simple sample, to launch the two instances of Explorer, resize (and move) them, then do the same with the cmd window you might do something like this:

Run Explorer /n,c:\develop\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\deploy
Run Explorer /n,c:\develop\Project\Mapping\deploy
WinMove, deploy, server\default, 0, 0, 200, 200
WinMove, deploy, Project\Mapping, 200, 0, 200, 200
Run cmd /c SetupEnvCmd.cmd
WinMove, C:\develop\jboss-4.2.3.GA\bin, 0, 200
