Getting Linux to open app on user login

[EntilzaSte]

Hi,

I want my Mandrake 9.1 machine to run Netscape on user login. In the same way as applications start in Windows if you put them into the "startup folder"..

Netscape is installed in /usr/local/netscape/netscape

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks in advance....

Steve

Put it in .Xclients or .xinitrc
Remember an & at the end of the line.

The Window manager is KDE Fluxbox or Blackbox.
