Mikey-

.KDE/Autostart is a directory, not a file, so you cannot enter a word in it, you must place a file in it. 2 ways to do what you want. The first way is to make an executable script file and put in .KDE/Autostart. I posted the directions on how to do this in a previous response to this thread.

The second, easier way to do this is to right-click on the Mozilla icon on your desktop and click "copy." Use Konqueror to navigate to the .KDE.Autostart directory and paste the icon into it.

Regards,

Lee
