What I do is to create a directory (I call mine 'RunAtBoot') into which I put all the Apps I normally run at Boot, e.g. SparkFS, Zap, MoreDesk, etc. I then drag this one directory into Configure->Boot->Run and all the apps in the directory are run during boot up. This means there is only the one entry in Configure->Boot->Run for a number of applications. If there is a problem with booting at any time, there is only one entry to be removed from Configure->Boot->Run to stop all the apps being booted. If you then need to check for problems with individual apps, each in turn can be moved into a different directory until the culprit is found. Chris... -- Chris Johnson
