Just my two cents worth, you can take exe's and use a Windows 2000 
resource kit utility ( I forgot the name of it ) and turn it into a 
service so it will start up with out you having to log in.  I am new to 
Frontier and have it installed on my XP machine for dev reasons and I am 
not sure why they didn't implement it as a service instead of an exe in 
startup.
