Executing a Program Automatically when you Connect
You can set up a task to automatically run a specific program as soon as it
connects to the host PC. This is useful if you have spare PCs on your network
that you use as an extension of you own desktop for running particular programs.
To set a task to automatically run a program on the host PC:

NOTE: If you are taking over a PC running DOS (using PHOST.EXE TSR), then
the host PC must be at the DOS command prompt in order for automatic
program execution to work. If the host PC is already running a program, you
will get an error message when you try to run the task.

Check "Automatically run:"
In the "Command line:" box, type the command line you'd like to
execute on the host PC.
In the "Start in directory:" box, type the drive/directory you'd like to
make current on the host PC when the program is run.
In the "Run:" box, select Normal Window, Minimize, or Maximize for
the mode in which you want the Windows program to run on the host.
Check or uncheck the "Close window on exit" box. If this box is
checked, the connection will automatically shut down and the Proxy
window will close as soon as you exit from the program.
