I can not find it in my application folder, (which is impossible to add it in user panal), it is something attached with system configuration, so any ideas to make it boot on every machine start.
thx

MenuMeters is a .prefPane located within your /Users/User_Name/Library/PreferencePanes folder; however, if you want it to start at boot under Panther, you'll need to move the location into the system /Library/PreferenePanes folder instead...
Place it here:
/Library/PreferencePanes/

Menumeters, which I really like, is not an application, but a system preference pane. I don't know how to make it startup automagically either, but since I rarely logoff or restart, it is not an issue for me.

I just dragged it into the Startup Items in my user account, and it will open the pane, but it doesn't seem to remember the last settings.

it do boot with startup, but everytime the system configuration panel will bump up, that reallz annoyed me.
do we have other way, make it boot to the menu bar, but the system configuration do not pop up.

on my system, menumeters remembers its setup between restarts, and i _don't_ have the .prefpane in my startup items. as you have noticed, all that will do is bring up the pref pane.

Ummm, did you follow my instructions above? That's all that is needed. I've been running MenuMeters for months and it works flawlessly that way with all settings remembered each and everytime...you don't need to put anything in start-up items at all...
Weird.

THat's odd ... after I installed mine, it showed up in the system preferences, and it was simply a matter of clicking on the menumeters system preference and selecting "display *** menu meter" (the *** being either memory, cpu, disk, or network). Maybe you need to reinstall your copy of menumeters (I'm assuming you have the most current version), or try repairing your permissions.
Good luck and let us know what works!
