Yes. Load them from a batch file, putting them in the order you want them within the batch file. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup

What mechanism would you use to keep them from loading into the System Tray, etc., so that the batch file could run and do its suggested job?

From: "db" databaseben at hotmail dot on 11 Feb 2010 11:42 you can always utilize the three hierarchy's in windows to launch programs. firstly, you can use the msconfig to enable which programs to start at boot time. secondly, you can then use the startup folder to launch the next set of programs. thirdly, you can then launch the third set of programs manually. -- db·´¯`·...¸><)))º> DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces - Microsoft Partner - @hotmail.com ~~~~~~~~~~"share the nirvana" - dbZen > > "PSRumbagh" <PSRumbagh(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:C96F1F1D-F49A-483E-997D-A75EB2C0E644(a)microsoft.com... > Can I control the order in which programs are loaded during boot-up?

Along with what the others have suggested, if you're having a problem with a particular program loading too soon, there's a nice little program called Startup Delayer ( http://www.r2.com.au/software.php?page=2&show=startdelay ). Although it's not listed, it also works fine in Windows7. I use it to delay two different programs on my notebook that were giving me errors when they started together. -- SC Tom |
