One way is to install Command Post (from Wilson Windoware; there's a shareware version, and the commercial version costs $50). It has this fancy "menu language" that can also do startup processing. A pity Wilson didn't take things a tiny step further and implement batch/shell programs. -- ergo@netcom.uucp Isaac Rabinovitch netcom!ergo@apple.com Silicon Valley, CA {apple,amdahl,claris}!netcom!ergo THIS STATEMENT IS VERIFIABLY, IRREFUTABLY TRUE!

On page 519 of the Windows Users Guide, there is a description of a file with the special name "WINSTART.BAT": "WINSTART.BAT is a normal batch file, except that Windows automatically runs it after starting in 386 enhanced mode." I have tried this for a couple of things, and it hasn't met my purposes, but it might be worth looking into for what you want.
