Startup script for linux

Hello again,
I have a few files that I want to run when I log in. Is there a specific script that I would have to edit to get that to happen and if yes, where is that script located?

Do you want to run the files when you log in or when the system boots up

If on login

Edit your .bashrc file in the users home directory
Ex:
For root edit /root/.bashrc

If you want to run the files during system startup put it in /etc/rc.local

Cheers
Z
