Solve : batch to run certain apps on start up?

Answer»

hi, im on a windows NT here, its a slow pc, everytime when i start it, takes sometime to load up
is there a way to make a batch to run on start up? im ok with editing my reg, or copying files to a certain folder.

maybe something like this, after i move this to the start place, and if i did anything wrong in this batch, correct me
Code: [Select]Title:"Apps Runner"
taskkill /f /im aim6.exe ]------------------}just some annoying apps
taskkill /f /im googleupdate.exe]------- }same
cd C:\
start firefox.exe [i have set it in c:\]
any HELP to get this on run ups?
and by any CHANCE it can run in the backround? my idiot friends or FAMILY MIGHT break it up when its doing its stuff

thanksanyone?
i just need to know a run-script I'm assuming it's NT4 you're USING? Any particular service pack? (I would assume 6)

It's been a few years since I've used NT 4. This may or may not be useful

Well I'm all for enthusiastic use of batch files when they may or may not be appropriate but it seems like you could just as easily use MSCONFIG. If NT 4 had MSCONFIG, maybe that's just a 98/2000/XP sort of feature. Anyway try running MSCONFIG and if it comes up disable aim and google update that way. Seems much more effective. Do you need every profile to do the task killing or just yours? I assume just yours.

For running applications like firefox every time just put a shortcut in
"%userprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

No need to re-invent the wheel though, right?

You could also put a shortcut to a batch file in that startup path.

I don't know if this helped or not.
