Mary, no doubt someone will give prcise instructions, but Windows start up programs can be placed in the start up folder, which can be found in the programs list off the start menu. It's a case of copying the programs's path to this folder so that Windows should find and execute it on startup.

I'd like anytime diary to do this and I can't find it in the options or preferences of the programme itself. I think it was there as an option during the installation but I didn't think I'd want this at the time. Now, I find myself forgetting to look at the day planner sometimes and am worried to miss important appointments. Hope someone can help. I know I could uninstal and re-instal the programme but I'd rather not do this if it can be helpt as I'm not sure what would happen to the saved data. Cheers now, Marie ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
