is it possible to load up a program after logon thru something such as a .cmd file? i dont want to use a startup manager or anything. in the cmd file it would have something like

wait 1000

and the it tells a program to run

is this possible and if so how cna i do it?

Here's a link to a couple of good utilities for delaying execution of commands:

If you run the .cmd file as a logon script, then it will execute as soon as the user logs on. However, if the .cmd file begins with a delay, then I think that meets your requirements.

I had actually created a batch timer at one time... but it was clunky and probably wouldn't serve your purpose very well.

You can add a logon script to your user profile.
