105497 2002-12-12 14:44:00 I'm using Windows XP Pro and am wanting to know if there is a certain "order" that the programs in the Start Up folder will start up in. There are two that I want to run in a particular order. -=JM=- (16)

Sorry - last I knew Windows booted up its components (Explorer.exe, etc) first and then the programs were on a first installed first booted basis :D

Maybe you should email Microsoft and tell them to include a feature like that in Longhorn??? - under MSConfig preferably..

You could however disable all startup processes and use a program like BatchRun (search on PF1 and PCWorld websites - there's an article on it) to manage all your startup programs instead :)
