Thanks to all (and there were many of you!) who sent me mail on how to automatically start up an application in MultiFinder. I had not realized that you could select an application, go into "Set Startup" in MF and it would select to run after each boot. What a concept... Then, after only two days of bliss, I got even greedier. I wanted TWO applications to open automatically. But lo and behold, jeng@thumper.bellcore.com came to my (un-asked) rescue and told me about FreshStart, which allows you to select which inits, cdevs, and applications you wish to startup with. Sigh. I love this group. Many thanks again to you all.

MultiFinder will do this, too. I'm away from my Mac right now, but notice in the "Set Startup..." dialog box that there's an option to the effect of "Startup with all currently open applications", and I believe this works for desk accessories, too. > But lo and behold, > jeng@thumper.bellcore.com came to my (un-asked) rescue and told me about > FreshStart, which allows you to select which inits, cdevs, and applications > you wish to startup with. I have personally had a lot of compatibility problems with FreshStart, which is why I suggested trying the MultiFinder solution. -- Russ
