Just in case no one has responded to you yet: Simply use SYSEDIT.EXE (in your Windows System subdirectory, if it isn't in one of your program groups) to edit your WIN.INI file. In the "load=" section, type the names of each program to be loaded at start-up: CLOCK.EXE, WINFILE.EXE, etc. (Of course, you can use any text editor to edit WIN.INI, too. SYSEDIT's just convenient if it's around, or if you want to edit more than one of your "system" files, i.e., AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, WINSYS.INI, WIN.INI). Regards, Tony Brich
