yes, you can do this, but I would have to ask why you would want to!???! when either OE or Outlook are added to open at start-up, I have seen the boot process, in entirety, seriously bog down. OE will take longer to load as well. to enable this; click on start/settings/taskbar-start menu and go to the advanced tab. click on add, then browse to *ProgramFiles\Outlook Express\msimn.exe* and select it. when you are asked where to put this shortcut, make sure you select the start-up folder. you might also want to rename the exe file so that you know what it is. reboot and see if it works for you ~s ----- Original Message ----- From: "Drummer" > > Is there a way I can automatically open my Outlook Express program with > Win98 when all of the other Start-up programs automatically open?
