Unable to get PWB v3 to start when user logs in.

I've tried a number of various things, from putting a shortcut to PWB in the Startup folder, to scheduling a task when the user logs in. But each time the computer boots up, it just sits at the desktop. I can manually run the shortcut just fine.

Has anyone seen this issue and know of a solution?

I'm using Windows 7 32-bit if that makes a difference.

Another odd issue:

When I launch PWB, it opens two windows instead of one.

Are you using [Browser]SecureMode=True?

The problem is when using secure mode PWB opens an alternate Windows Desktop and starts itself. If you have any applications starting at start up that take longer then PWB to start, the other applications are opening in the main Windows Desktop after PWB is opening in the alternate Windows Desktop and stealing the focus.

Using PWB v3.03.6 set the PWB secure mode delay start to a number of seconds to allow PWB to start last. This will prevent other applications from stealing the focus.

For example:

[Browser]
SecureModeDelayStart=8

Thanks! This problems been driving me crazy.

Is there any way to preserve my old ini file (an older v3 version), or should I just reconfigure it using the new version?

edit:

Just wanted to say it worked perfectly. Thanks!
