i like my windows 3.0 session to always have the clock displayed at the lower right hand corner, file manager loaded and displayed as an icon in the lower left, etc. is there a way to have this happen automatically when windows loads?

There seems to be no direct way to get the windows on the screen with a predefined postion or size every time windows is started, so you must write a program, that enumerates all windows, gets the size and position values e.g. from win.ini using GetProfileInt, and makes a MoveWindow on each appropriate window. Please email me if you are interested in an example source. Hans Kraft (Giovanni Forza)

Just in case no one has responded to you yet: Simply use SYSEDIT.EXE (in your Windows System subdirectory, if it isn't in one of your program groups) to edit your WIN.INI file. In the "load=" section, type the names of each program to be loaded at start-up: CLOCK.EXE, WINFILE.EXE, etc. (Of course, you can use any text editor to edit WIN.INI, too. SYSEDIT's just convenient if it's around, or if you want to edit more than one of your "system" files, i.e., AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WINSYS.INI, WIN.INI). Regards, Tony Brich
