Startup Items equivalent under System 6 MultiFinder?
Posted by: mihai on 2023-01-16 10:02:27
Is it possible (possibly via a third-party INIT) to have specific applications or documents open at startup, similar to the System 7 "Startup Items" folder?

I'm aware of the "Set Startup" option, but that only allows specific items to be opened when not using the MultiFinder (at least, the "Selected items" option is never enabled for me)

Make sure that the Application or Document is selected first, then go to Set Startup; it should be an option.

EDIT: This is in System 6.0.8 MultiFinder, if it makes a difference.

Thanks, that worked (not sure I couldn't get the option to be enabled earlier, but it works now).

Glad it worked!
