This function can done directly using Apple's Property List Editor ( included free with developer tools ). It is easy, relatively risk free ( assuming you make a backup of the file first ). Just go to your home folder/library/preferences/ and open the file named 'com.apple.loginitems' ( possibly make a Finder - option drag - desktop copy first ). Click the triangles next to �SessionItems� and �CustomListItems� to see their subitems. Click the triangles next to �Item 1�, �Item 2�, etc. until you find the entry that you want to move. Item 1 gets loaded first, item 2 loaded second etc. Move the mouse pointer to the left of the Item�s triangle, then drag the entry higher or lower in the list. Drop the entry INBETWEEN two other �Item� entries and then save with Command-S.

Note: LoginControl does provide additional features such as lists of startup items which might make the product worth the shareware fee for some users.
