Start up applications?

Question

Is it possible to mark certain applications to automatically run at startup and if so how do I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance to any posts!

From Mac Help:
"Opening items automatically when you log in:
You can have applications or documents open automatically when you log in to your computer. You can choose any application or document on your hard disk, including Mac OS 9 applications.
1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Accounts.
2. Click Startup Items and then click Add .
3. Select an application or document and click Add.
4. Drag items in the list to change the order in which they open.
5. Click the Hide checkbox next to an application if you don't want a window for the application to open.
To prevent these items from opening when you log in, click the Login button and hold down the Shift key while your desktop appears.
To permanently stop an item from opening automatically, select it in the Startup Items list and click Delete ."
