Here is a technique for Windows XP users that will work if the icon for
the software is available on the desktop, hopefully it is.
1 Go to desktop using Windows+M and use letter or navigation keys
to locate the icon that starts the program you wish to have run
automatically when Windows starts.
2 Then press control+C to copy this icon to clipboard.
3 Now press tab until you reach the "start" button.
4 Press shift+F10 or Windows Application key to get a context menu
and select "open" by press enter on it in the menu.
5 Now use arrow navigation keys or letter P for locate "programs"
and press enter on it.
6 Press navigation keys or letter S for "Startup" and press enter
on it, this is the folder into which you can put any program shortcut
and Windows will run it when it first starts.
7 Press control+V to paste the program shortcut into the "Startup"
folder.
8 You can now close all windows and restart Windows itself, the
software that you require to autostart will do so after you log into
Windows automatically.

Hi Marie
Just copy the shortcut to the start up folder in all
programs, that should work.

Subject: [access-uk] how to make a prog open automatically
at start up
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me how to make a prog start automatically
when the PC
starts. 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
