Hi,
I want to scan Ms Office 2000 programs when i login to my account. I want to check them occasionally if they are opening and running.
Please tell me how to configure it all.The program paths are as follows :

c:\program files\microsoft office\office\excel.exe
c:\program files\microsoft office\office\winword.exe
c:\program files\microsoft office\office\powerpnt.exe
c:\program files\microsoft office\office\frontpg.exe
c:\program files\typing instrucror deluxe edition\typeinst.exe
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\common\msdev98\bin\msdev.exe

So how should i configure it on server.

i want them to open all the above mentioned programs when i login from my account.....sorry i forgot to mention in the main question.

An easy way is to add these to startup menu. Use from start menu\settings\taskbar& start menu\start menu programs\add - browse for exe files and add them in startup folder.

About configure it on server, I assume that you speak about the same machine where you logon. Once you configure your startup folder these settings are saved when you perform a log off in your profile.
If I misunderstood something post a comments with more detail.

About which programs run at a moment. Use task manager (right click on taskbar).

THanx for helping, i realy appreciate that but what i want is that all the above exe files should execute one by one when i login to my roaming profile. Actaually i need to check these programs in 175 workstations. I don't want to go and click all the exe files one by one.That's why i wanted them to open by themselves when i login from my roaming profile.Thanx anyway.

Ok I understand (I hope).
You can make some batches files like these:
---------------
Start.bat
---------------
START /MIN LaunchAp.bat

---------------
LaunchAp.bat
---------------
net use v: \\ServerName\ShareName$ /yes
CALL excel.bat
CALL winword.bat
CALL powerpnt.bat
CALL frontpg.bat
CALL typeinst.bat
CALL msdev.bat
net use v: /delete
exit

---------------
Excel.bat
---------------
"c:\program files\microsoft office\office\excel.exe"

---------------
Winword.bat
---------------
"c:\program files\microsoft office\office\winword.exe"

and so on

---------------
Msdev.bat
---------------
"c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\common\msdev98\bin\msdev.exe"

Place all these batch files in the same folder on a share. Then you can access and launch from this share or put in your startup folder (or place a shortcut on your desktop).

Please use "rejected" or "accepted" only when you have the right answer.
Hope this help you.
