Not getting time to write though having lots of plans, like the google master plan as they release their chrome. Will do that some day. Meanwhile a little tweak, I don't know why I did not know of it.

To add an application to run at system startup. Goto the start>Programs>startup and open it as a browser by right click. Just paste a shortcut of the application you wish to be at start up there nad that is it. ?Have fun....

You can use a batch file at start up and thus you can have a proper automation of youre PC start up. Say open browser with the favourite website. Use command line options at the batch file or maybe directly in your start up and you are through.

I deally I will not recommend you making too much of this. You might end up slowing the PC performance at startup.

You can always remove a program from the start up by deleting simply the shortcut. Though some programs need the msconfig to be run to be removed. start>run>msconfig
