I'm looking for an example about self loading apps for Win 3.x. In MS documentation I found only a simple description of same funcrions (BootApp, ...) but no examples. WinLite use this method to do an exe-compressor. Thank you.

I don't know, if it is that, what you mean, but to auto-load an Application on startup, if you don't want it to add to the Autostart-Group, put the path and the name of the PRogram you want to execute on startup in your WIN.INI in the Section [Windows] (the first) under LOAD= Example: LOAD=C:\MYAPP\MYPROG.exe Note that you habe to ADD your program to the already existing entries in this line.
For just executing some simple Batch-Commands on every Windows-Startub create a Batch-file called WINSTART.BAT in you WINDOWS-Directory and write the DOS-Applications or Batch - files, which must be executed on Startup (NOTE: THere only DOS-Programs!)
Serch in the Win16 API documentation the words "self-loading", in that pages you can see the MS documentation, but there aren't examples. I'm looking for an example.
