How do I make a program automatically start after XP has booted?


TIA

Gary
 
I don't have XP and must instruct a newbie over the phone how to do this.

Could someone detail exactly how to do this?

Thanks,

Gary
 
Hi Gary,

Have them right click the Start Menu, then Explore All Users, it will then
be pointing to Start Menu. Open Programs and scroll down to Startup.

Either that user or all users:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
 
AHHHHHH!!!!!

Just stepped through this with a newbie and accomplished it. However
they'll never be able to do it again and will call me every time.

Also this question will come up again with other new customers who are at
the proficiency of "what is a mouse?"

I need a one click solution.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Gary
 
Hi Gary,

1. Glad to hear it.
2. What about the one's who look on the floor when the cursor is missing?
3. Upgrade/install XP.
