Is there a way to stop the auto execution of the WBStartup? I'm trying to set up some scripts in my startup that will give me more memory (especially chip) on booting, and in one of the startup scripts I would like to stop the execution of the contents of my WBStartup drawer. Is this possible and still use Workbench? I am using OS 2.04. …Steve ====>>> Motorola 68030 Inside <<<====

Steve, I'm not positive that it will work, but you can probably rename the WBStartup drawer to prevent its contents from being run. Just add the following lines to the script in which you don't want the startup stuff to run: IF EXISTS sys:WBStartup rename sys:WBStartup sys:WBNoStart ENDIF Make sure you place these statements before the LoadWB command. If you are setting up multiple startups, you'll probably want to "reverse" this action in the other scripts, by adding the following to them: IF EXISTS sys:WBNoStart rename sys:WBNoStart sys:WBStartup ENDIF Hope this helps…. – BobR
