No. The only thing I almost always want at boot is the browser, but I usually wait for my first query to launch it (If I wanted something that badly, I'd use my tablet). Whatever prompt me to turn to my computer is what I want first, and I don't want other stuff to slow it down.

I think you can script it out if you really need to.

That’s my understanding as well but I don’t bother. It’s so easy to just fire off keyboard commands that I end up with the same layout naturally.
