How to load Windows XP load sequence?

[Guest]

I wonder if there is a way to change the Windows XP load sequence when
starting the computer. Now my msn messenger is loaded before the internet
connection and Norton anti-virus, so it will not get connection even
everything is loaded after.

How can I make the messenger load at the very last? Thank you.

IIRC, the shortcuts in the Startup folder are executed at the end. So, try
placing the MSN Messenger application shortcut to the following folder:

%userprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

How can I see program laod in Startup? I go to Start, then Run, then type in
"%userprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup", there is nothing there.

Create a new shortcut for the application.
