So if i edited startup and wanted it so that once the startup was completed it would load a diff page/program.
How would i do that? Would shell.run() work? And if so how?

You should code it up like this (i'm not good at coding)


print("your text") --Alerts that startup is running
sleep(time) --sleeps for a X time
shell.run("PROGRAMNAME") --Runs the program you choiced

Tell me if it works :)/>/>
