can I autorun a programme in a guest when starting guest?

Greetings

I have Vista as host and a Win98 guest (because there is one piece of
software that I use that needs it).

I've figured out how to have an icon on the host desktop that will launch
the guest without having to go through the original virtualPC icon.

But is there any way to automatically load the software I want when Win98
boots up in the guest?

Thanks

In the guest, try putting a shortcut for the software you want to run in
the "Startup" folder of the W98 Start bar.
