Is it possible to set up a default configuration for W3 that includes running applications (other than Program Manager)? What I mean is, can you make W3 load your preferred applications (e.g. Word Processor, DOS Shell etc.) on start up? Ideally, it would adjust their start position and size etc. and inconise them if required. If not, is their a way of invoking a macro on start up? You could then define the macro to do this. (So what is Toolplaces? - It's a program used on Suns to store your desktop configuration in a file that can be read on start up.) -- ---------------- Eml: mrh@camcon.co.uk or mrh@camcon.uucp | Mark Hughes | Tel: +44 (0) 223 420024 Cambridge Consultants Ltd. |(Compware & CCL)| Fax: +44 (0) 223 423373 The Science Park, Milton Road, ---------------- Tlx: 81481 (CCL G) Cambridge, CB4 2JB, UK.

You can either use the "AutoExec" macro, which is executed whenever W4W starts up, or use the lines "load=..." or "run=..." in your WIN.INI file. Hans-Ludwig Stahl

The load= and run= lines of win.ini will start up applications as icons and as windows, respectively. Eric Hughes hughes@ocf.berkeley.edu

But the original questioner (like me) wanted not only to start up the applications,
but control the placement and sizing of windows. In other words, not just "start
up Clock (in its default window)", but "start up Clock, run it in a 100x100 window,
and locate that window in the upper right corner of the screen". It is easy to
do this under Sunview on Sun machines, and it is possible (but not quite as easy)
under X-windows. Program Manager controls its own startup configuration via its
PROGMAN.INI file. If we want to similarly control other programs, is it up to
their programmers to provide a similar function, or can Windows do it itself?

You'll have to use shareware or commercial add-ons to do this.
