Start Menu Startup Order

[Randy W. Collins]

How do I change/control what sequence items are automatically starting up in the Start Menu Startup group?

They start in alphbetical order. If you want a different order then put 01 in front of the first shortcut name, 02 on the second, etc...

Hi

This might not be the case if the disk is formatted as FAT32 instead of NTFS,
then I think they will be started in the order they was created in the Startup
folder.

In that case, you can control the order by temporary moving all files in the
Startup folder out of the folder and then add the files back one by one in the
order you want to start them.

(or another way to control the order is to use a batch file in the Startup
folder that starts what the other shortcuts would have started).

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that on fat32 it isn't alphabetical.
