Adding a program to startup list so it runs automatically

[Chet]

I have Vista Home Premium on my laptop. I have a Verizon network card.
When I boot the computer I go to the quick launch area where I put a
shortcut for the Verizon program to get on the air. I would like to add the
instructions for the computer to run this for me each time the computer is
started without my having to initiate the program manually. I look at
msconfig and see the programs there that automatically run but I don't know
how to add the verizon program, Access Manager.exe

Many thanks in advance.

Just drag it and put it in your Start Up folder.

Paul, thank you. After messing around for some time and not accomplishing
it, I tried something just after posting the first message. What I did was
to go into the program and under preferences found an option to have it run
on startup (silly me, didn't see it before!! ) Second thing needed was to
tell the program via the same preference tab that once the program was
running it was to automatically connect, i.e. without my having to click on
the "connect" tab.

I feel a little sheepish about bothering the group with the question.

Now I can explore how to "drag the program into the startup group" because
at the moment I'm not sure where I find that group! At any rate, I'm up
and running.

Thanks.

To drag a file to your Start Up group. Right click Start/Open All
Users/Programs/Startup folder.
