By the way, if you go to System Preferences-Accounts and click on Login Items, you can see what's loading at startup and add or remove programs. I don't know a specific answer to the shortcuts question, but I think I read that more of this capability was added to Snow Leopard. Again, in System Preferences, take a look at the Keyboard and Mouse section and click on Keyboard Shortcuts.

Is there any way--I'm sure there is--to automatically start a program at boot time in OSX? I've found my desktop clock solution for X.5*, and I'd like to have it start up at boot time.

Also (I don't remember if I asked this already), is there a way to assign keyboard short cuts to start programs? Yeah, I know there's the Dock, but for me it's easier to poke out a few key strokes than it is to reach for the mouse, figure out where the cursor is on the screen, scroll it into position and aim. Especially if I'm using a track pad.

Thanks.

*SimpleFloatingClock <http://www.splook.com/Software/Simple_Floating_Clock.html> It has the usual features. You can change the opacity, add date, day of the week, make it digital or analog, 12 or 24 hour, you can add an additional time zone (a dot on the face that shows the hour of another time zone). Oops. I see a "Launch at Login" item on the right-click-menu (but I'd still like to know about programs start at boot).

Probably the best feature though, is "Pass Clicks Through" so you can leave it on top of everything and still be able to click on the *useful* stuff behind it. It adds a clock icon to the menu bar that you click on to be able to access the clock itself.
