Besides the obvious steps:

1. Power On
2. Waiting for OS to load
3. Log in
4. What happens now?

For me it's normally IE and e-mail.

Email and IE are usually the first. I do my BT on a different PC that is always one most of the time.

Normally wait for all to come up then launch...

Thunderbird
Trillian
Firefox.

Surf around checking a few sites while thunderbird pulls down the few hundred spam mails i get a day in my main box and sorts it out. Man I need to just kill that account.

it's always on.
outlook first after a restart (like once every 2-3 weeks or so)
