Hi Ralphy,
Try this:
Click the Windows 7 Start button, Click
All Programs, Right-click on
Startup folder
- Select Open All Users if you want to create a startup program that will affect all users on the computer
- Select Open only if you want to create a startup program that will be specific only to the user profile that you are currently using.
Then, copy a shortcut of the program that you want to run on startup to the folder
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
If you want to set different startup programs per user, navigate to the folder
C:\Users\
XYZ\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
*where XYZ is the username of each user account on that computer
