Board index » Windows Vista » Auto Start of Programs on startup

Windows Vista10
I would like to have Outlook automatically start when I boot up my machine in

the mornings.



I have been looking for it but not able to locate where I put the file to

get it to autoload on start up.



Can someone enlighten me as to where that is done in Vista??



thanks



Bob

You can easily do this by clicking and dragging. Also you can put a copy of

the shortcut into the folder:

C:\Users\<userprofile>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start

Menu\Programs\Startup

It's not wise to put Outlook in the Startup Group since you will get errors

when Outlook loads before the other services. A better idea is to add the

Outlook shortcut to your Quick Launch bar and click on it after everything

loads and your Internet Connection is showing a connection in your Navigation

Pane.

Outlook must load last after all other services and your Internet Connection

is made. You will get errors if OL starts before the connection is

established.
