- OK, ready?
-
- First, do not use STARTUP.CMD. Create a program object which runs
- this CMD file. Do so by dragging a Program template from the
- Templates folder to any other folder. Botch the name at first (e.g.
- C:\OS2START.CM1), then go to the second page and check "Start
- Minimized." Go back to the first page of the notebook and fix the
- name of the program (to C:\OS2START.CMD, in this example). Close up
- the notebook settings. Drag a shadow of this program object to your
- Startup Folder (located in OS/2 System).
-
- That should do it.
