_________________________________________________________________

 

 

Here is a simple way to automatically start a program when KDE loads. Make a script of the program you want to execute on startup and make it executable and copy it into the folder "/home/user/.kde/Autostart" . Restart KDE to see the effect. I think this is a simple way for the newbies who wonder about automatically start programs in Linux Mandrake running KDE.

Putting a link or shortcut in kde auto will do the same

Cool Smile I've been using Linux on and off (ON mostly now) for a few years and I only tried this a couple of days ago as I wanted KNotes to auto-start. I think that there's much about KDE/Linux that I still don't know Confused

Actually, you shouldn't have to put Knotes inside of the autostart folder, if you're using session management. It's a nice tip for autostarting non-KDE apps though Smile
