    On the newer Toughbook models there is a program called Dashboard. It puts almost all of the daily settings onto one page. You can also configure you own programs as well. It is a great idea and I think you guys will like it. I know it will work on the CF-30 Mk2 and MK3 for sure. Of course the 31 as well. Go to your favorite place where you download the drivers and grab it.

    If you add to your taskschedule.exe it will start up automatically. I added it to automatically open up my Outlook, GPS and some work related programs so that they all open automatically on start up.
    I just like the fact that I can click on one program in the taskbar at the bottom and I can control all the items in one place. Much easier.

    You can just add these to your startup folder... Don't need a special program to do this.....

    Doesn't work on a CF-51, it needs the "misc" driver which isn't available for the 51 and it won't load from another model.
