Re: Change Order Of Startup Programs?

Two separate issues.

For services.

For applications.
To start applications sequentially create a shell script something like this
and place it in your \Startup directory.

-------------mystartup.cmd-------------
start "" "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\outlook.exe"
start "" "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\word.exe"
start "" "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe"
---------------end file------------------

I'll be surprised if NIS isn't already started before the network.
