To start the computer with Softimage or others already starting?

Interesting, but what would you hope to achieve with this, other than shaving merely a few seconds off your working day?
:-?
Stay safe, sane & healthy!

Yep just to shave off the boredom of clicking it plus browser, etc :D


Think about it if you click 3 programs at start if you do that 330 days per year means 990 clicks. Besides clicking just the power button and then going to coffee is much better. Don't forget to add the waiting.

Since the 1980s, all you've had to do start your app automatically at logon is to create a shortcut for them in the "Startup" group of the Start menu/Program Manager, etc. No need for Hotstart for that.
