- <D> When I enter OS/2 upon starting the computer the first thing that pops up
- <D> is a window titled startup.cmd. OS/2 is obviously running startup.cmd and
- <D> opening a window for it, and I have no idea why. I have the clock in the
- <D> startup.cmd folder so that the clock comes up all the time, but when I clos
- <D> this new window the clock doesn't show up. Any way to get OS/2 to just run
- <D> the applications that are in the startup.cmd folder like it use to for me
- <D> instaed of having this window open? I am not sure what I did to change it t
- <D> make this happen, but something did.
- <D> Thanks in advance

- If you have a startup.cmd file in your root directory, OS/2 will do that.
- My startup.cmd file is a REXX program and I have it configured to start
- a program ( Robocomm ) if the current time is between 5am to 8am. If
- you just want to start the clock, create a clock shadow in your Startup
- folder located in you OS/2 System folder. You can then delete the
- startup.cmd folder.
