i don't think that this methode is the best one. U can call on the user, that their programms should be closed, but when u kill all running processes, u may kill important data. and if u want this, u're aspiration doseen't go for the user but against the user..

ok thanks for advice. I am creating the Setup in VB.NET there in User's Startup Folder im setting to run my application. So that the user can able to open any application in the sytem. But what the problem when im loading the machine it take few minutes to load the project. Give me u'r suggestion to make the project load quick when Operating System loaded.

There really isn't much you can do. If the O/S is still starting up, which is entirely possible even though the user has a desktop showing, you have to wait for the O/S to completely start all of its services adn the same time you're waiting for it to load and start the .NET CLR with your application. You can get some benefit from NGen when you install your application on these machines, but the benefit will be small.
