I have a program that isn't starting up properly when windows starts and I believe that it is due to the fact that it's starting up too soon. Is there a way to change the sequence of how my programs start when windows starts?

Hi
There are many places where progrgram start automatically when windows starts some times even depends on the type of windows your are using. If you are using win9x then
start->run->MSCONFIG->(TAB) Startup.
You will see the programs which will start but not all of them since there are 7 places where program could start.

1- Winstart.bat in the %Windows% folder
2- Autoexec.bat in Root folder
3- Config.sys in Root folder
4- Win.ini in the %Windows% folder. in the [windows] section "load=" and "run=".
5- System.ini in the %Windows% folder
6- Stratup folder in the %Windows%\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp folder
7- A registry key. There are 7 registry places where a program can start.
