Are you asking about programs that start automatically from the
startup folder?
Instead of starting them individually, start all of them from a
single batch file and arrange the lines in the batch file in the
order you want.
You can also start each program in the batch file using the Start
command with the /wait parameter (for more information, from a
command prompt window, issue the command Start /? ) to make the
next program wait for this one to finish.

Hi Ken,
Yes I'm talking about the programs that start up automatically. I think I
know what you are talking about but could you give me specific steps on how
to create and execute a batch file?
Thanks,
Mindy

Sure. Just use Notepad to create a text file. Put the file name
of each program on a separate line in the file, in the order you
want (use the Start parameter if desired). Save the file with a
name like Startup.bat. Put a shortcut to startup.bat in the
Startup folder instead of the individual programs it's replacing.

Mindy,
These (2-5) are not XP startup files. They relate to Win98 or ME.

Mindy said:I followed your steps and named the file startup.bat. in the file I put
1. ikstray
2. ScanRegistry
3. TaskMonitor
4. SystemTray
5. LoadPowerProfile
6. ccRegVfy
7. ccApp
but the ikstray still isn't starting first? Do I have to put the whole
filenames?
