OK so I'm having a blonde moment....LOL How do you add an Inon (shortcut) to the menu bar next to the clock with the running programs? Not the other side with the quick launch stuff.

Please hook me up.

Sorry typo It's supossed to be add an Icon (shortcut) NOT Inon......LOL

Well first of all that side is for running programs you can not add an icon there to click like you can quick launch unless you want an icon there for a certain program...

Yes I know, thats what I want to do. I want to add a program that will start up on start up.

Ok now what program is this you want to start on startup?

Yes I know, thats what I want to do. I want to add a program that will start up on start up.

I wanna say that it all depends on the program. If it's a program that'll run in the background, then somewhere in it's options/preferences, there should be a way to enable it. I wouldn't think there'd be a way to run a program on startup if it's not made to run on startup. I could be wrong though, I'm no techie.

What program are you looking to start up ?

[Boss Traffic Jim]

It used to be there, Direct CD I removed it (somehow) awhile back and now I want it back again. I did try looking for an option in the program preferences, I'll look again maybe I missed it.

[Chris Mac]

ok well there in another way man go click on run and type in msconfig and on the way at the end you will see the tab startup you should see the direct show in there if its not checked then check it then it will start up if it is check then look in preferances again...

Found the option in the programs preferences...........Thanks for the help..........what a blonde moment.
