Adding a program to automatically run
every time the computer started
Instructions on how to add a new application
to the auto-start list
1. As an example, we will take the very handy Screen Capture utility, and add it to the autostarts part of the system. Normally, it has to be started from the L > Utilities > Screen Capture menu.
First click the L > Programs > Utilities menu
This will open a window showing what is already set up to automatically start when X does.
2. Click on L > Programs > Utilities > Screen Capture and before releasing the mouse button, drag the cursor over the blank bit of the autostart window
Release the button and click on Copy
3. The menu disappears and the icon is added to the open window... presto!
4. At the next reboot, we see the Screen Capture utility launched centre screen, with a snapshot of the desktop as we can see here...
