[steve]

i use a laptop and do not want to have outlook,
messenger, ect. loaded it the start menue.when i take my
laptop from the office to a job i will not use these
programs. when i am at the office or home i want to run
several programs.
my question is this:how can i acomplish this differenr
user sign on or batch type file.

Open Notepad, and save the file with a .cmd extension.

Each line of this file should look like this:

start "stuff" <command>

For instance, if I wanted to open IE and Outlook Express, I would have:

start "stuff" "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
start "stuff" "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe"

You can find out what the command line for a program is by going to the
shortcut's properties.
