Again, thanks for the reply. I am using 7.0, so there goes that idea, don't
really fancy upgrading to 7.2 at the moment. I have managed to get it up an
running by playing around with some rc.local entries and changes to
.xinitrc.
Again thanks for taking time to respond
Barry

My Drakconf and my Control Center menus are entirely different from yours.
The autologin is only on 7.2 as far as I know. If you are running 7.1- or
older the autostart folder is there but you'll have to edit your rc.local
file to start x and your application. What version of mandrake are you
running?
