I have an appointment reminder that used to appear on the screen immediately
when the machine was started up. This was with previous computer running
under Win98. When I loaded it on my new computer with XP and the
compatibility set for 98 it doesn't come up immediately on boot but has to
be started from a shortcut on the desktop. I tried putting the shortcut in
the windows\startup file but that doesn't work.

Could someone tell me how to make it come up on boot? Thanks.
 
Any program put in the start up folder should start or at least give an
error msg. Check by trying to start the program from the shortcut that you
placed in the startup folder. It could be that your shortcut points to the
wrong file.
