I've tried adding "XWin Server.lnk" to the ".../All Users/Start Menu/Programs/Startup" group, but the second user who logs in isn't able to start it because the port for ":0" is already taken. Looking at the "startxwin.exe" manpage, it looks like I could break out the link into per-user shortcuts in each user's Start Menu, passing extra arguments of "-- :1" for the second user, "-- :2" for the third user, etc. Has anyone tried this? Are there any problems I should be aware of for this approach? -- David L.
