How To Get Programs To Open Automatically On Startup

Everybody has a couple of their favorite programs that they always open up immediately when their computer loads up.  What if there was a way to get those programs to load up automatically when your computer is booted up?  Well there is, and it is very quick and easy to do for anyone no matter what experience you have with computers.

1) The first thing you need to do is decide what programs you would like to open upon Startup.  Some ones that people use are your Internet (such as IE or Mozilla), Email (such as Outlook or Windows Live), or any other programs you would like automatically opened.


2)  The first thing you do is navigate your mouse to the Start menu and right-click it.  Then click on Open All Users.







3)  Once this window opens,  double click the Programs folder.  This is just a list of your Start menu folders.  Scroll down to your Startup folder and drag and drop or copy and paste the program into this folder.


4)  Now, whenever your computer is restarted, whatever program you dragged into this folder should immediately open up with the rest of your programs.
