Auto-starting apps?

[Green Cherry]

Thanks for the quick replies - I'm quite surprised at that given the shoddy battery life of some Android devices! The issue I was having is that none of the launcher apps (I hope I'm using the right term here - am referring to the type of app as described in my first post e.g. AutoStarter) appear to work, and I was wondering if it's anything to do with the primary storage device actually being an SD card as opposed to internal memory which, as I know understand, can have a an adverse effect (i.e. not work!).

My next question would be, is it possible to have Tasker start automatically when the device boots, as per on phones, but I may start a seperate thread about that for greater coverage.
