Load own library at start-up

Have spent much of the weekend reading the maple help files and googling but still haven't found a current way to do this on XP with v9.5. Tried editing the maple9.5.ini file to point to the folder, but it doesn't work and seems to behave more like a log file. I can use libname as a line in the worksheet but would prefer to do without as I use the modules a lot.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

You need to update the initialization file "maple.ini"

The following help page "Create Maple Initialization File" will tell you all. Basially, you have to create, or update, a file called "maple.ini" (note that the file is without any version number or anything else).

From the online help, for Windows, we can read:

Under Windows, the initialization file is called maple.ini.
If \lib\maple.ini exists, it is loaded first (where is your Maple installation directory). With a network installation of Maple, the commands in this initialization file will be executed by all users on the network.
To execute a user's personal set of commands, only the first initialization file in one of the following paths will be loaded.
1) The current working directory (for example, "c:\Program_Files\Maple\bin.win\maple.ini")
2) The \Users directory (for example, "c:\Program_Files\Maple\Users\maple.ini")
3) The user's personal profile directory (multiuser only) (for example, "c:\Documents_and_Settings\userid\maple.ini")
Maple reads and executes the network initialization file before the personal initialization file.

The path to this page from the table of contents (online help) is "Getting Started" -> "Configure Maple" -> "Initialization Files".
