Windows XP Startup

[Chris]

I would like to know if it is possible to define the order
in which applications placed in Startup will start and if
there is a method to have one application not start until
another application has started.

For example: I want to dialup my ISP, connect and then
have Microsoft Outlook start.

Also, is there a method of only running the dial-up
information in Startup rather than the IE Explorer.

Thank you for any help you may submit.

Not with any certainty.

What you can do is make a small batch file to put there, containing
lines
Start Prog1
Start Prog2
etc
There is a /w you can include to say 'wait for this program to exit
before continuing', but be careful with that: if the program is going
to sit there throughout the session you will find things waiting to load
at the shut down
