Automating an apple script

I'm sure this is a simple one but...

I've downloaded an apple script which stops Microsoft Office from disallowing me to use Office software (which I own) on my laptop and my G5.

Currently I run the script manually every time I start up the G5. How can I get the Mac to automatically run the script when I log in and always before it automatically starts Entourage?

Another question while I'm on the subject....

I have a number of application which require an internet connection. I have an airport network which broadcasts the adsl signal from my router. So as soon as airport connection is establised, so is the internet connection. The problem is that these applications are set to start automtically when the machine starts up. I always get these messages saying that the internet connection could not be established as the apps start before the airport signal is recognised. This often makes apps like MSN Messenger give up and not keep trying to connect. So how can I delay the login items until the airport signal is established?

Many thanks :D
 
As for the first part of the post, you can save the applescript as an application, then put it in your login items via the "Accounts" section of the System Preferences.

You may also be able to write an applescript that would delay the launch of certain items for a defined period of time, but I'm not that proficient with applescript -- someone else?
