The order of custom startup projects in XP system

        Have you ever thought about setting the order in the Windows XP operating system? Below I will introduce the method of specifying the order of the self-starting project.

1. Create a new folder, for example: C:\\Ordered Launch, then cut all the shortcuts under the "Start All Programs Startup" folder to this folder, and then you want to Shortcuts to the launched project are also placed in this folder.

2. Enter "Cmd" in "Run", open the console mode, and then switch the current directory to "C:\\Ordered Launch". After switching the directory, enter the command "DIR /B /S > ordered.bat".

Then enter the command "notepad ordered.bat" to open the newly created batch file, you can arrange the self-starting project in the desired notebook in the open notepad. It should be noted that each project needs to be enclosed in quotation marks and start with "start", for example: start "C: \\Ordered Launch\\First Program.lnk".

3. Double-click this batch file to test. These self-starting projects will start in the scheduled order. But if one of the projects takes more time to initialize, the self-starting order can be messed up.

But don't worry, in this case, you can add a delay code under the slow start project, for example: "ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 > nul", this command can provide With a delay of 5 seconds, different delay times can be obtained by changing the number after "-n".

4. After testing the batch file, open the "Start All Programs Startup" folder, then right-click and drag the batch file into the "Start All Programs Startup" folder, in the pop-up menu. Select "Create Shortcut".
