Making Your Startup Folder Easier To Access

Note: The Startup folder is the one used by Windows to determine what applications the user wants opened when Windows starts.
Following these simple steps can make adding and removing items from your Startup folder simpler.
1. Select My Computer and press Enter.
2. Select the main drive (usually the C Drive) and press enter.
3. Select Documents and Settings and press enter.
4. Select All Users and press enter.
5. Select Start Menu and press enter.
6. Select Programs and press enter.
7. Highlight Startup, but don't press enter.
8. Press your Applications or Context Menu key and press N (as in No) or arrow to the Send to option. In the Send To menu select Desk Top Shortcut and press Enter.

Now you will find a shortcut to the Startup Folder on your Desktop. From here you can easily open the folder and add or remove items as needed. You may also quickly copy and paste or cut and paste the shortcut to another location.
