    I'm using Windows XP and want to have Outlook open up automatically when my computer boots up. I have done this before, but I can't figure out how to do it again. Thanks!

    I can't figure out how to get it into the startup folder. Tell me how to do that first before I go messing with the registry.

    Create a shortcut for Outlook in the following location:
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

    Of course, the "username" will be unique to your PC. It will correspond to the login name you use when you start XP.

    With a shortcut in that folder, it will automatically start the program each time you start XP.
