That would be a little different than "boot" code. I got the impression
that the original poster was interested in discarding the operating
system all together and having the system bootstrap an executable from
powerup. That is a little different sort of problem than having the OS
automatically start a specific program at login time.
I imagine only "Newcoming" can tell us what he/she meant - but that's
why I was asking for a little more information. ;-)
