Catherine, thanks for this info. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. I'm
using XP, that may be the reason why it failed?
Can anyone else throw out any suggestions as to how I move a programme into
my Start-Up folder?

Hi,
This is how I do it but it's a bit convoluted and there might be a better
way. Also this is assuming your startup folder is in the same place as mine
(I use Windows ME and don't know if XP or whatever you're using puts them in
the same place).
If you know where the .exe file for that program is, get to it in Windows Explorer. Then do right click/applications key, go into Send To, enter on Desktop create shortcut). Then go to the desktop and cut it from there, paste it to the startup folder which in my case is c:\windows\start menu\programs\startup
If you don't know where the .exe file is you can find out by finding Outlook
Express on the desktop or start menu or wherever you usually start it from.
Do right click/applications key and select properties. Somewhere in the
properties it says Target and tells you the path to the .exe file and it's
that file you need to do the send to desktop etc as described above.
This is the way I've always done it in Windows 95 now ME, but I should think
(and certainly hope!) that by now there's a more efficient way of doing it.

Hi List.
The subject pretty much says it all.
I'd like to have OE launch at start-up.
How do I make this part of my start-up sequence?
I'm using OE6 with XP Home.
Regards.
