Peter,

I don't know how to tell if DDNS Config starts. I think TCP/IP does start because the ICS sharing from my XP box does work. MugLib Logon is not in my startup folder and I have to start it when I want to log on to the network.

The apps which won't start don't need a network or TCP/IP. They are Look2 (a file manager), TasPro (a database manager which runs my contact program), PMPatrol, and Appointments from the OS/2 IBMWorks set of apps.

I already wiped out the four apps and put new shadows in for them and they do start when double clicking the shadows in the Startup folder.
