What's the system operation you're running? windows 7 or windows xp?
To set a program at the start-up in windows xp:
- Open the "Start" menu, point to "All Programs" or "Programs," go to "Accessories," then select "Windows Explorer" to launch Windows Explorer.
- Click "My Computer" in the left-side window panel. Browse to find the execution file for the program you would like to launch automatically when Windows starts up. (Execution files are files with an .exe extension.) Many program files are located in the "C:\Programs" directory.
- Right-click on the program execution file and select "Create Shortcut" from the menu. Right-click on the shortcut that was created and select "Cut" from the pop-up menu.
- Navigate to: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER_NAME\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. Go to the Explorer "Edit" menu and select "Paste" to place a copy of the program shortcut you created in Step 3 inside your user account Startup folder. Any program shortcut placed in this folder will launch automatically every time you log on. Or, navigate to: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. Go to the Explorer "Edit" menu and select "Paste" to place a copy of the program shortcut you created in step 3 inside the common Startup folder. Any program shortcut placed in this folder will launch automatically every time any user logs on.
