asked on
program to open multiple software applications which are installled in my system,autamatically when i SWITCH ON my PC.
I am having four softwares(w,x,y,z) in my system.
If I want to open these softwares,I have to click on each software to open.But,what I want is a C code such that,
with this C code all the four softwares should open automatically with 10 or 20 seconds gap when ever I switch on the system with out any clicks.
Example,its like when ever we switch on the system,MSN messenger or some other softwares will open automatically.
Thanks for your reply,

julianH,
Is there a way to specify the sequence of starting applications using either the registry or startup folder? I have never been able to figure out how to get things to run in a specific sequence using these but it would let me get rid of a bunch of batch files ;-)
Thanks.

Can you not use the RUN key in the registry or the Startup folder in your Profile or the All Users Profile? This is how MSN starts.
Registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software\Microsoft\Window
"SomeKeyCanBeCalledAnythin
Or alternatively create a short cust to the file and put in
C:\Documents and Settings\<your user profile>\programs\start menu\startup
or
C:\Documents and Settings\all users\programs\start menu\startup
Which options you choose depends on if you want the apps to launch for every user or just for yourself.
