Also if anyone knows of a way I can view what files are accessed when a program is started that could be a great help.
Thanks

For your first question one way to do is acreate a new startup script, e.g.
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/ypops &
/usr/bin/thunderbird
Save it in your home folder , call it myscript, and make it executable e.g. chmod 755 myscript
You need to be more articulate with your second question.
If you start thunderbird, then /usr/bin/thunderbird is accessed, if you need to know what other files are running you can list the open files
lsof
will show this, man lsof is the manual page
