Question boot up time

I'm using win 98. I have 4 programs that I only use when I'm on the internet. I disabled them from startup, and greatly reduced the boot up time. If I go on the internet, however, I have to individually enable these 4 programs. Is there anyway I can group these to enable them with 1 or 2 clicks?

Hi Jack...easiest way I know of is to write a little batch file. I can do that, but need to know the exact DOS paths to the programs.

I personally haven't tried it but there is a program called Winbatcher that you can use to create batch scripts to automate the start of several programs. This is the link:

Let us know if this program helped. Cheers
