task startup sequence

[Wilfried]

Does anyone know of a way to define the sequence in which
tasks start in Windows XP? Eg. I want to ensure that my
firewall software starts before my internet connection is
established etc. Is there a way to order that permanently?

Write a batch file with the startup commands and put a shortcut for
the batch file into the STARTUP subfolder of the Start Menu. Remove
all other links from the startup settings.
For the batch file you may want to use the START command to start your
applications. Type
START /?
at a DOS prompt for details.

Run MSCONFIG and rearrange the startup sequence in WIN.INI
