please install porteus 2.1 (if you havent yet) and use 'guiexec=' cheatcode as described in /boot/docs/cheatcodes.txt
please check other cheatcodes as well as they are extremely useful.
thanks

It's there a way to do this using version 1.2? I have everything working perfectly except for this one thing. I don't want to switch and have to make changes. I just want my xmms to load automatically once I turn my computer on and in order to do this x has to be loaded first.

please search /opt/porteus-scripts folder for script called 'paths' and add xmms startup command there like:

I tried what you said and it still doesn't work. File was located in xorg folder. I am running v1.2 from a usb stick (live). I just created an xzm with the modified file inside so it extracts in the correct folder on load. Did I do this correctly? I just added command below the rest as written above. Doesn't load until I click the link I created and put in an xzm that extracts in my desktop. I know the files located in base folder 002-xorg, do I have to modify this? Just wondering if my changes are being made after its already loaded? my modified file I created is over writting the old one after the fact, only reason I can think of its not working.

i'm confused with your setup ("Doesn't load until I click the link I created and put in an xzm that extracts in my desktop." ?) but for sure your modified 'paths' script must be available at the time when desktop finishes loading.
please use /rootcopy folder to make sure nothing overwrites the 'paths' script or use Autostart folder (are you using Trinity?) as explained here:

Thank you so much for your help, worked prefect!
I was dumb when I created an xzm with the edited file. Thanks again.
