Thanks for this Darren, but I simply cannot find Outlook Express.

Following your advice, I've thoroughly searched in trees, bushes and several small shrubs, but haven't been able to spot it anywhere!

Hi Darren

Another Darren here. XP is a bit tricky for reorganizing your start program menus compared to windows 98

Try the following its not too tricky once you know how to navigate around the folder tree.

First go to Start then programs .. while the cursor is on programs hit the applications key and choose Explore.

This will take you exactly to the right place in a windows explorer type window. You need to then select outlook express by moving the cursor over it and using the applications key to choose copy. Note you may have to cursor around a bit to find it.

You then need to cursor through till you find the startup folder. It will be in the programs folder which is a sub folder of the start menu.folder ... so just cursor around till you find it. Once your cursor is on the folder use the applications key again and choose paste.

That should do it

As I say it's just a case of getting to know your way around the folder structure.

Hope this helps.

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.

Darran
