Can you explain how? For instance whenever I turn on my system in the
morning I always open Nautilus & 2 other apps; I open
System|Preferences|Sessions|Startup Programs, I then open
Applications|Accessories & try to drag & drop 'File Browser' to the
'Startup Programs' and it doesn't work (both on Hardy and Intrepid). So
if you can point the proper way to do this I'd also appreciate the advice.
