Re: Change Order Of Startup Programs?

Okay... So is there a way to change the order in which applications and
services startup at boot?

I would prefer to have all Norton Internet Security applications/services
running before my DSL connection is established during boot.

I know that I can disable my network connections prior to shutting down the
computer which will require me to re-enable it the next time I boot.
However, I do have other users who's limited user account will not allow for
making changes to network connections. Including the enabling and disabling
of.


Best regards,
Richard in Va.
