- Startup is a small program which will start a Windows Program in any
- directory that you want. When you normally start a program from the program
- manager, its default directory is the directory from which you started
- Windows. Any files that the program needs or creates will thus appear in
- this directory, and it is impossible to specify a working directory for
- the program. Startup solves this problem, letting you assign a working
- directory for any program that you want to run.
-
- Using Startup
- -------------
- To use startup, first copy it to your Windows directory. From the
- Program manager, select a program which you would like to start in another
- directory. Select 'Properties' from the file menu. In the 'Command Line'
- field of this dialog box, insert the command 'startup' BEFORE the command
- line which was previously used. Immediately after the 'startup', insert
- a space, followed by the drive and path of the directory in which you want
- the application to start. For example: If you want to start Microsoft Write
- in a directory called 'C:\DOCS', first create a Program Item for Write. Then
- select the Properties item on the file menu. Change the command line to read
- 'startup c:\docs write.exe'. Then save the modified item. When you click
- on this icon, write will be executed in the C:\DOCS directory.
-
- Icons and Startup
- -----------------
- In order for the program manager to display the correct icon for the
- program which you will be starting, use must change the icon manually. To
- do this, modify the program item as detailed above, then select the 'Change
- Icon...' button. Another dialog box will appear. In the field called 'File
- Name' field, type the name of the program that you want to run. In the
- example above, you would type 'WRITE.EXE'. Then click on the 'View Next'
- button to cycle through any icons contained in the program file. When
- you find the one that you want, save the program item. The new icon
- should appear.
