Startup timing for Network

[Guest +Bob+]

My network car (or connection) seems to start up very late in the

login process. I have a program that runs out of the key

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

 

It needs the network. Unfortunately, it beats the network card up from

a cold boot. I can see that the tray icon for the network isn't even

up yet but the program has already kicked off.

 

Is there any way to get the network startup to run earlier in the

startup process? Perhaps get it to the head of the list in the misc

stuff that starts up in the tray ?

 

Thanks,
