Depending on your DE (I use Xfce mostly), look for the autostart directories: $HOME/.config/autostart $HOME/.config/autostart-scripts You can place files in /etc/skel so that everytime 'useradd' is invoked it copies those over. https://www.linuxhowtos.org/Tips%20and%20Tricks/using_skel.htm ...or, once you have one user set up, use a script to copy the autostart settings to all the other users. -Ed
