My MSN Messenger 6 is unable to "sign in" when the computer was first
started because of the Norton Security 2003 software. I have found if the
Messenger was loaded "after" the Norton had been completely loaded, it
starts up and "sign in" fine automatically. I was wondering if there is any
way to force the MSN Messenger being the last to load in the "Startup"
sequence, even if it means to mess with the regedit? Thx!
 
Use start commands in a shell script in the startup directory. Something
like;

start "" "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\outlook.exe"
start "" "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\word.exe"
start "" "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe"
 
Please pardon my ignorance, but I have no idea what that means at all. Any
clarification?
