How to Automatically run programs on Startup on the Acer Aspire One

January 27th, 2010 John Leave a comment Go to comments

There are some programs that you might like to run on your Acer Aspire One automatically when it first loads. Eg DropBox

There is an application included on the Acer Aspire One where you can set which programs start on startup.

To launch the Application.

1) Press Alt F2 to open the Run Program Window

2) Type xfce4-autostart-editor into the text box and click on Run

A box showing all the programs that run on startup is now loaded.

3) Click on add to add an extra program.

4) Enter a Name, description and command (eg /home/user/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd for DropBox) into the appropriate boxs and click on OK

Your program will start on startup.
