I have XP Pro. Is there a means to modify the Start Process? Problem... I
use MSN Messenger... MSN starts before Internet connection occurs and so the
auto feature does not operate... Is there a way to modify the Start Process
to have the Internet connect before any programs begin to load?
Thanks

For applications.
To start applications sequentially create a shell script something like this
and place it in your \Startup directory.

-------------mystartup.cmd-------------
start "" "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\outlook.exe"
start "" "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\word.exe"
start "" "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe"
---------------end file------------------
