This article describes the order in which items in the Startup folder are
processed.
MORE INFORMATION
In earlier versions of Windows, you can control the load order of the
Startup group by the order in which the icons are placed in the Startup
group. Windows 3.x loads Windows-based programs starting from left to
right. After loading all the Windows-based programs, Windows 3.x then
continues loading MS-DOS-based programs from left to right. In Windows 95,
the order in which programs in the Startup folder are loaded is determined
by the names of the programs. Programs in the Startup folder are loaded in
alphabetical order.
To control the load order in the Startup folder, you can rename the icons
so that they are arranged in the order in which you want them to load.
