A quick way to automatically start all applications within a group is
to add the following entry to the PROGMAN.INI file of the Microsoft
Windows version 3.1:
[Settings]
Startup="group name"
where "group name" (within quotation marks) is any acceptable group in
Windows). For example, to start the applications in the Main group,
you would add the following line to the PROGMAN.INI file:
MORE INFORMATION
The PROGMAN.INI file is located in the WINDOWS directory. You can edit
PROGMAN.INI with any text editor (for example, Windows Notepad or
MS-DOS Editor). As with any system setting modification, make a backup
copy of the PROGMAN.INI file before you edit the file.
To determine acceptable group names, view the contents of the Window
menu in Program Manager or look at the title bar of the group you want
to automatically start.
If the Startup= line is blank (that is, no group is specified), the
startup group will be disabled until the line is removed or commented
out.
