Windows XP startup options

I have been searching and am not finding an answer to this.

I have Qlights in the auto start so that when the laptop boots it starts Qlights but then I have to:

1. OPEN my file

2 I then have to Add Fixture,

3. Then Go to Input/Output and click the checkbox on my DMX USB controller to enable it.

I would like to just hook up the USB/DMX to the light bar, boot up the PC and then ALL be ready to use from VIRTUAL PANEL.

Thanks
JD

"--open" option

Open a project already including your fixtures and the IO configuration

Thanks, I wasn't sure Windows would accept unix style command line switches.

I have it working so it starts with my qxw file. The only issue is that if I look at Fixtures, while my fixture IS there it is not selected?
I selected it and saved. Then restarted computer but again Fixtures shows no fixtures selected?

If you attach a copy of your .qxw file, that may help people work out what is happening.
