How can I make my programs to run automaticly
I have some programs, and I want to run everytime I start my system.

[pmlxuser]

add them at

-> system ->preferences -> Startup Application

have an option of just putting the command or browsing to them...

[howefield]

System > Preferences > Startup Applications.

Click on add and type the name of the program in the name field, the command to start it in the command field and whatever you want in the comment field.

Click the add button and when you reboot the program will start.

You can probably tell it to start automatically but it will probably ask for the password when it starts.
