I want to put two applications to auto-start on logon [XP]. Can't seem to understand this. Help, please.

I am running in classic mode, but can run in XP mode.

It depends on the requests.  Some applications can be configured to start when Windows starts by using an option in the menu 'Options' or 'Preferences' of the application.

If not, just put a shortcut to the exe of the application in the startup folder.  Here's a way to do it:

1. create the shortcut

  • Right-click on an empty area of the desktop and select new > shortcut
  • Click the 'Browse' button, navigate to the application exe file, usually in C:\Program Files\ and click OK
  • Click next
  • To change the name (for example, delete the .exe and capitalize)
  • Click on finish

2. click and drag your new shortcut to the right side of the desktop temporarily.

3. click on start > all programs, and then right-click on start and select open

4. drag your new shortcut in the startup folder and close the file

    I want to put two tables on a page with two columns how can I do this?

    It depends on what application you are using.

    If you use Word, then a good way would be to create a single table of 5 columns, check the borders of the invisible middle column so that it appears to be two separate tables.  You will need to do the same thing for unused cells downstairs as well.

  • New application guard auto starting annoying

    I am new user of Win 7 & I have loaded down the new sat nav App why it auto start whenever I start its very annoying as I close again

    Unless they are trying deliberately to annoy they put an option in its parameters to toggle start with Windows.

    You can also watch here for applications that run at startup [but there are other ways to achieve this startup that are not so easy to find]:

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu 1

    2 C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

    3 the application can use an entry in MSConfig, but disabling that would almost certainly it inhibits when you decided to start - you re - activate the entry in MSConfig and restart if you want to use the application.  To have a peek without necessarily changing anything, type msconfig in the search box on the start menu, right-click on the shortcut that is offered & select run as administrator.  Then take a look at the Start to see the applications tab & supporting utilities that run when you start.  Click Cancel when you are finished looking - incorrectly change MSConfig settings may disable your entire PC.

  • I am wanting to put something to have a starting the program windows automatically at startup

    I have Windows 7 on a laptop Dell Inspiron and I wonder, can I have where my windows automatically Media Player starts when I turn on my computer?

    Put a shortcut to an mp3 player or other media file (or a shortcut to a WMP playlist)

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

    [this is the all users startup folder]

    You could also put in the following folder, but only if your startup takes you directly to a specific account;

    \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartupyourusernameC:\Users\

    [this is the start-up folder for yourusername]

    - - - - - - - - - - -

    You probably know this bit already but just in case where:

    The default location for the WMP playlists

    \My Music\PlaylistsyourusernameC:\Users\

    If you set up a playlist in WMP, can go in this folder, right click on the file PlayListName.wpl & select Create a shortcut and then move this shortcut to the chosen above startup folder.

    You can edit the playlist in WMP then as much as you want - setting up you made of the works in the name of the playlist so as long as this does not help, then, the action will proceed as planned.

    I don't know what your goal is, but if it is to have the PC wake up & play music as an alarm call, then you can do it in Task Scheduler instead if you wanted [which is what I do].  But this would require the PC to sleep rather than turned off and therefore requires to be already logged on to a user account.

  • I want to draw a line between 2 specific points on an image inserted in a Panel? Help, please!

    I am a beginner in working with LabWindows/CVI and I want to draw a line between 2 specific points on an image inserted in a Panel? Please help or examples of code.

    As evidenced by the Wolfgang there is a problem in the definition of recall. InstallCtrlCallback wants a reminder of the standard of review as a parameter: apparently you have structured your reminder callbackName on the prototype of a recall of Panel, which obviously missing the setting "control".

    In addition, the recall of control should be said somewhere before it can be used. In other words, you must add his statement before your function {main}, either in one of your include files, or directly in the code. This is the reason for the error 'found int, whereas CtrlCallbackPtr. '

    Third point: you create a new picture control in the callback assigned to the image control. And you reuse variable 'Test', which already holds a valid control ID...

    Finally: what you expect to make from '1' in callbackData parameter, given that you do not use anyway? Unless you want to adapt the behavior of recall some past in callbackData conditions, you must pass NULL as the parameter.

  • Hi, I have a bunch of programs on my desktop I want to put in my Start menu. Someone has any idea how to do this? In addition, I have Windows 8

    I have shortcuts to programs on my desktop I want to put in my windows menu start. I looked and there was no possibility to add to the start menu. Does anyone have an idea how to do this? Thank you

    Copy the shortcut "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program"

    This will place the program on the screen of "All Apps". From there you can right click the icon and the Pin-to-Start

    ProgramData is a hidden folder, click the view tab in the file Explorer, and check the "Hidden items" box if you do not see.
