Hello Spencer,
0 - Assuming that it is installed, launch the application "Palm Desktop for Clie". Look for an option to run the application on startup. "Palm Desktop" usually has this feature. Failing that, 1 - For the current user, Right-click [Start]| Explore | -AND- 2 - For all users, Right-click [Start]| Explore All Users | -THEN- 3 - Locate the shortcut to "Palm Desktop" in either of these windows. 4 - Right-click-Drag this shortcut to the "Programs\Startup" folder in the window that you opened in step 1. Then click | Copy Here | "Palm Desktop for Clie" should launch the next time you logon.

Or you can make a copy of the shortcut and put it in the startup folder under
either 'documents and settings/all users/start menu/programs/startup' or for just yourself: 'documents and settings/your account/start menu/programs/startup'. Right click the properties and set it in minimized mode so it doesn't open in a full window to interfere with your desktop view. -- Durand "_Jan" wrote in message ...
