In article <HUGHES.91Jan9160839@maelstrom.Berkeley.EDU> hughes@maelstrom.Berkeley.EDU (Eric Hughes) writes: The load= and run= lines of win.ini will start up applications as icons and as windows, respectively. Eric Hughes hughes@ocf.berkeley.edu But the original questioner (like me) wanted not only to start up the applications, but control the placement and sizing of windows. In other words, not just "start up Clock (in its default window)", but "start up Clock, run it in a 100x100 window, and locate that window in the upper right corner of the screen". It is easy to do this under Sunview on Sun machines, and it is possible (but not quite as easy) under X-windows. Program Manager controls its own startup configuration via its PROGMAN.INI file. If we want to similarly control other programs, is it up to their programmers to provide a similar function, or can Windows do it itself? Pat
