2012-05-01 02:12:45 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

What and how do you automate on eComStation PC boot?

• You can run some apps and demons on system startup. Drop the apps to "StartUp" folder, or add commands to startup.cmd, add run and call commands to config.sys
• Initialize audio adapter (audio mixer), make some calls to unimix -- unimix page
• Connect to Peer resources, share your resources. Add the commands (net use and net share) to startup.cmd
• Connect to ftp directory, load NetDrive configurations.

Do you automate something more? Share your experience. It's stupid to start up the same programs manually on every boot.
