Is there a way to set the startup order on bootup of programs (such as virus software, task scheduler, ect..) in Win98se.

no there is no way to do this. Windows picks the programs at random from the startup pool. GRRRRRR!!!!
The only other way i can think of having control over starup programs is to run either a macro or a script.

Bootup sequency:
1. HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/RUNServicesOnce
2. HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/RUNServices
3. HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/RUNOnce
4. HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/RUN
5. HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/RUNServicesOnce
6.
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/RUNServices
7.
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/RUNOnce
8.
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/RUN

9. The startup folder of all users (this is only under WinNT and Win2K) (Yes, I've seen that you use Win98SE)

10. The startup folder of the logged-in user

Hope this helps...
