    Wanna know what the code are, or how to make the file itself?

    1. For the file, go into Notepad, write the code, then Save As. All Files, and name File.bat.

    2. Dont know what programs you wanna open.

    Well I needed the code. lol. And I wanted to open up a lot of GUI customization when I want it to instead of at start-up because if I need to do something quick, I dont want to have to wait for it to load.

    Anyway the programs are:

    ObjectDock Pro
    Desktop X
    Logitech Wireless Mouse Settings
    Alias Sketchbook Pro
    And anything else that was at start-up that I still need.

    Why are you having problems with your startup files?
    Because if they arnt loading them maybe yours Drivers are also not loading, just check incase they arnt, my GFX card was broken for days because I was to stupid to reinstall my driver for it :P

    Or you could see if the start-up files are still listed in your msconfig start-up menu.

    Click Start --> Run... --> Then type msconfig. Use the tab on the far right for the start-up menu.

    From there you can enable start-up programs that were once in use. You can also disable other things too. So, be careful which ones you change. ;)

    If you're not sure what the process is... google it. That will usually tell you if it's a valid start-up file or not. :D

    basicly as said above, I think you just have to insert the code and change the tag to .bat
