View Full Version : How to add a program to startup?
RipVanWinkle
December 5th 03, 07:48 AM
I found a wonderful freeware program called Nail It which allows you to tack
a window in the foreground. I would love to have it load automatically when
the computer boots. I have run msconfig but there are no provisions to add
items to the startup. Is there a simple way to do this? Thanks.

Hi
Find the program (.EXE) file in Windows Explorer, right click on it and =
select 'Copy'. Then - right click on the Start button and select =
'Explore'. Expand the Programs folder and then click on the Startup =
folder. In the right hand pane - right click and select Paste.

In your start menu drag it to the "Startup" folder.
