	QuicKeys can most certainly perform this as one of the macros supplied
with the real product show how to open the Control Panel and select QuicKeys
(so modifying it to do the Startup Device should be easy).  HOWEVER, if you
are doing to be doing complex Macros (like this) you might want to consider
looking into Tempo II or (I can't beleive I am saying this) MacroMaker.  Both
of them work by doing a REAL record of your actions rather than having you build
it from pieces.  I find it more intuitive to just say RECORD, do what I normally
do, and then STOP RECORDING.
