Changing the Startup Order

I have a program that uses an internet connection upon startup with my computer. When it tries to connect before a connection is established, it stops trying. I determined this is because my wireless network connection loads AFTER the program does. How can I change the order so that my wireless network connection is one of the first things to load. Thanks!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As far as I know you can't really. If it's possible to make that one program not startup with your computer then do so and start it up manually when you need it or when you are finally online.

If none of the other gurus here can help you then I'd do as I suggested.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You may be able to do it through scripting; find a small scripting app such as AutoIt, and create a shortcut that will execute a wait command for 30 seconds or so, and the opens the appropriate application.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

That's not exactly what the OP was looking for. Unless it has a certain feature that delays startup items, in which case you should have elaborated.

Also, not a personal comment at all, but the last thing RYU uploaded for me contained a Trojan.

I was speaking idiomatically.

really,I try to scan with Norton AntiVirus 2007 nothing there for Trojan.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Switch the operating system ;-)

*nix init scripts allow execution of arbitrary commands after the wlan comes up. Same goes for normal (wired) ethernet connections.

The waiting script mentioned above is only a crude hack. Even if you make the application wait before launching you never know WHEN the wlan is really up. Maybe the net is currently down, the waiting script won't detect this.

Something that could solve your problem correctly would be this application:
File monitor, event log watcher, alerter.

It's a bit of an overkill but it should do what you want (trigger application startup when the wlan connection is established).

FELIPE NO

I think you can do it with a batch file in your startup folder, use sleep.exe and then execute the program that you want to startup?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Which OS are you running??

There are a few connection management programs that will allow you to auto-launch applications after connecting to a wireless network. The one a few of our employees use is Quicklink Mobile:

QuickLink® Mobile - Smith Micro Software, Inc.

There are probably a few others out there with less features that will do what you want.
