You can write into win.ini file :<br />
[windows]<br />
run = Previous.EXE(s) YourProgram.EXE<br />
<br />
This way both Previous.EXE (can be more than one) and your EXE file will be loaded automatically by Win 3.11 and Win 9x (i'm not sure about NT).<br />
<br />
To write into win.ini use TIniFile.<br />
<br />
Do not forget to preserve previous settings (by first reading them using IniFile.ReadString.<br />

Look for the STARTUP.GRP file in the Windows directory (possibly Windows\system? &nbsp;I can't remember which). &nbsp;I believe the GRP file has the same layout as an INI file. &nbsp;If so you can add a line in it that will start your program.<br />
