[Tom <question76600@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Question #76600 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76600

Tom proposed the following answer:
Or, if like me you prefer gui ways rather than hacking the system, go up
to the top taskbar and click on

System - Preferences - Startup Applications - Add

and then 'just' give it a name and enter the command you would normally
use to start the application from the command-line, eg "totem" would
start up the movie player (well i use mplayer but the standard one is
"Totem").  If you are stuck with finding this then go up to the
Applications menu but right-click on it instead and then choose "Edit
menus", find the usual way you start it from there and choose
"preferences" fro it.  That should show you what command the menu uses
to start the app ;) heheheheheh

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Ps some people misuse the term 'hacker' in it's derogatory sense -
really meaning "cracker" or something.  This is because it's very
difficult to write neat elegant code to fix Windows problems and have
the coding accepted - such behaviour works against the interests of
companies profit margins and so the term is used offensively to make
people fear using the elegant answers.
