There are always programs we wish to automatically run when the PC boots up.
In Windows there is a Startup folder where we can place program shortcuts.
In Ubuntu, we have a little utility for that purpose...
In earlier versions of Ubuntu, it was System > Preferences > Sessions, but from Jaunty it has been renamed as System > Preferences > Startup Applications.
You can start the tool from commandline using the commandgnome-session-properties
Startup Programs
You can add / remove startup programs from here.
Add your favorite browser or chat client by clicking Add. Specify the name and command to use (eg. firefox %u).
If you don't need some programs in startup, just Remove them.
Options
In the Options tab, there is a checkbox to specify whether Ubuntu should remember the running applications from previous login.
PS: You can add the commands directly into ~/.profile file and they will be executed at startup.
