I would like to auto-start a couple of programs when Desqview powers up (mainly a couple dos sessions, an editor, etc.) and I heard that there is a file that can do this. Of course, there isn't a peep about such a file in the documentation. Can someone help?

Thanks everyone for responding to my request. After getting the responses I went back and looked through the manual and, sure enough, there is a tiny section devoted to the '!'-style startup scripts. I don't know how I could have missed it :-) Thanks again, Tom -- +-------------------------------------+ "Stupid" questions are better than | Thomas Wolf | (201) 615-4789 | no questions at all.
