Jo - Yes, the shortcut should be placed in: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\ If others use the computer and don't need the BP transfer program, then place the shortcut in your user name folder instead of All Users. Are you sure you have it pointing to: C:\Program Files\APH\Bookport Transfer\bpl.exe It sounds to me like you might have forgotten the last item, the actual Book Port Launcher program. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jo Stombaugh" <jostombaugh@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2006 4:17 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: BP transfer not starting I must have done something wrong. I created the shortcut as was instructed; but now when the Book Port Transfer opens automatically, it goes to some other BP files like BP image, sounds, BP Doc etc. What on earth have I done? Did you mean the shortcut gets placed in the startup submenu? Any help would be appreciated. Jo.
