Autostart Apps in order - Windows Vista.

Question

Is there some way to autostart apps in Vista so you can control which one is started first, second, third etc. For example if I want to start Outlook, Visual Studio, Dreamweaver, IE, Firefox in that order, and to have them appear in the taskbar like that.

I added them into the autostart-folder but Vista didn't start the apps in the order I wanted it?

Answer 1

There are scores of programs (freeware/shareware/commercial) available to do that. A random example is "Absolute Startup"

They work by making THAT program the first and only thing that is started up by Windows, and then starting the rest of the stuff themselves.

But this question belongs on Server Fault or whatever Windows admin companion to SO is.
