Does anyone know of a computer program that when you set it up it will open/initiate other programs in your computer?
Like when my computer gets turned off and then back on again I am looking for something that will start/open my forex broker so I don't have to.
Thank you!!

The quickest and easiest thing to do would be to copy the shortcut to MT to your "Startup" folder (Start -> All Programs -> Startup).

This will make MetaTrader open up as soon as you login to windows.

Now if you want to have your computer login automatically, try the following:
Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315231
Vista: http://www.pctipsbox.com/enable-auto-logon-in-windows-vista-warning-security-risk/

There are of course, more elegant solutions (Making a custom .exe with AutoIT for a start, but this will certainly work)

Windows task scheduler is all you need.

Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Scheduled Tasks

Just click create new and scroll to MT4.
