Hey everyone, is there a way (Im sure there is) to have a program load on startup? I would like Vbar to auto load on startup.

Also I have Pocket weather installed and its updated and I can load it and see the weather BUT it wont display anything on my Today screen like it should any ideas?

Thanks!

Yep, it is really easy. This is what you have to do...
1 - Open '\windows\start menu\programs' and copy the program link (don't cut/paste it, COPY IT) - you might need to go one folder deeper if your programs is in its own folder within programs
2 - Open '\windows\startup' and poaste the program in there (the program should be something like Vbar.lnk, according to what you have above).

Those two little steps should take care of you - good luck (let me know if you have any other questions on this, I'll be watching the thread)

Sorry - no clue about Pocket Weather - I get my weather from looking out the window (just giving you a hard time ;)

lol thanks a ton. Well I figure if my PDA is able to tell me the weather I might as well let it do it

Actually, you want to paste as shortcut. Otherwise you are duplicating the exe and using space that you don't have to. It should be on the same menu as the standard paste :)

About PW, go to Settings, Today, Items and make sure you have it checked to display on your today screen.

I just went in and checked the directions I gave, and copying a .lnk file from the start menu ISN'T going to copy an executible, it is already a shortcut, and is about .03 KB.

Affirmative, I misread your post :)

I am glad this worked out for you.
