Hi

Is it possible to arrange the order in which programmes start using MS XP.

if anything, you would have to create a batch script. The programs are loaded asynchronously, so some might be loaded at the same time.

With the exception of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\...\RunOnce key, all keys and their entries are loaded asynchronously. Therefore, all entries in the RunServices and RunServicesOnce keys can potentially run at the same time.

Why do you ask? It shouldn't be important since all programs will work with each other loaded.

Hi Sterling_Aug

The first programme needs to decrypt information before the second is loaded so I now realise there needs to be a pause before the second is loaded. Will try writing a batch file.

Thanks for the help.
