App. loading sequence

Taskbar

Is there any way to define the loading sequence of
applications on the taskbar during bootup. (Tried changing
priority but only defaults to the original priority
settings.)

My firewall takes the most time to load, and often other
applications appear to load simultaneously, and as a
result, it seems, sometimes the other apps don't load
properly at all giving an application load
error "...please inform microsoft... etc."

Any Ideas?

You can do this with a batch file. Open NOTEPAD and write down the
command-lines for the applications (RETURN after each complete
command-line) in the order you wish to execute them. You may want to
use the START command here as well (for details type
START /?
at a DOS prompt).
Save the file as STARTUP.BAT anywhere on the disk. Remove all
applications from the Startup settings and add a shortcut to
STARTUP.BAT to the STARTUP subfolder of the Start Menu.
