Joel, Create a notebook named init.nb, which will be saved in the Autoload folder. Put the statements that you want to be evaluated in the notebook and make them initialization cells. To make them initialization cells, select the right hand cell brackets and use Alt C R I, or use the menu command Menu\Cell\Cell Properties\Initialization Cell. Then save the notebook. When you first save it you will be asked if you want to create an Auto Save Package. Answer Yes. That will create an init.m file. Anytime you update the init.nb notebook and save it, the init.m file will also be updated. The init.m file will be automatically evaluated whenever you state up Mathematica. You can either use the Autoload folder in the AddOns folder, or better, you can evaluate $AddOnsDirectory and use the Autoload folder at that location.

Where can I store a list of commands so that they will be executed automatically when the program is launched ?
