Xp...how do I get programs to start on boot.....

I did a re-install recently and now some of my programs on't start on boot.
Previously I put them in a "Startup" folder but I for get which one.
I did a search and found a few items called Startup".
I put a short cut in each of these folders, one at a time, restarted but the
program did not start on reboot. I have returned my computer to the restore
point I created before trying this.
Can anyone tell me how I do this?
Is using the startup folder the only way to do this?
I have looked up MS KB but found no advise, I also used the help and
support, no instruction there either.

Thanks

You have to put the .exe file of the program (or a shortcut) in the startup
folder in your start menu.
The other way to do it is to use a script.
Hope that helps.

Thankyou Neil,
I icon I dragged into the Startup folder was identical to the the program I
wanted to open....but it was not the .exe file.....I was puzzled why it was
opening something else related to the program......cheers.....

Can you tell me what the advantage of writing code to do this.
Where would the code be stored...in the registry?

You didn't look in Help and Support.

From XP HELP:
To start a program each time you start Windows
1. Right-click the Start button, and then click Properties.
2. On the Start Menu tab, click Classic Start menu, and then click
Customize. This changes the style of the Start menu.
3. Click Advanced.
4. In the Start Menu folder, find the shortcut to the program you want to
start each time you start Windows, and drag it to the Startup folder
located in the Programs folder.

Thanks Wesley,
I knew I had done it another way before...but forgot it was from the Clasic
View.
On this occasion I did it through explore and dragged the icon into the
startup folder from my desktop.
I did search help and support......but entered" Startup" for my search...but
didn't get the results you have supplied.

Execution Order for starting programs

With Windows XP Home, There are 13+ places that programs can start from and
they are executed in the following order:

Before Logon
1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServicesOnce
2) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices

After Logon
3)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnce\Setup
4) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnce
5) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnceEx
6) WIN.INI [Windows] Load
7) WIN.INI [Windows] Run
8) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
9) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
10) C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
11) C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
12) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\RunOnce
13) As a Scheduled Task set to run at startup.

[[Startups in groups 6 to 11 all run at the same time (more or less).
However, the groups themselves are triggered in the order shown above. In
other words, the next group can begin launching while the previous group is
still loading its startups. Due to timing issues it is impossible to say
what order these items will finish loading, thus it is impossible to
predict the exact order of execution for individual startups. For instance,
you may notice two or more system tray icons changing position with each
boot - even when no changes have been made to the order.]]

[[The order of items within a group is not necessarily the final order, as
some programs take longer than others to load, and synchronous groups can
overlap each other.]]

Items in 10 and 11 execute alphanumerically. You can change the order in 10
and 11 by moving the items from 11 to 10. Also, you can rename the
shortcuts in 10 and/or 11.

For example; dfg.exe, fgh.exe and ghj.exe would start in that order. To
change the order rename to aghj.exe,bdfg.exe and cfgh.exe. They would then
start in that order.

Execution Order for starting programs

With Windows XP Home, There are 13+ places that programs can start
from and they are executed in the following order:

Before Logon
1)


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServicesOnce
2)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices

After Logon
3)


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnce\Setup
4)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnce
5)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnceEx
6) WIN.INI [Windows] Load 7) WIN.INI [Windows] Run 8)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run 9)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run 10)
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup 11)
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup 12)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\RunOnce
13) As a Scheduled Task set to run at startup.

[[Startups in groups 6 to 11 all run at the same time (more or
less). However, the groups themselves are triggered in the order
shown above. In other words, the next group can begin launching
while the previous group is still loading its startups. Due to
timing issues it is impossible to say what order these items will
finish loading, thus it is impossible to predict the exact order
of execution for individual startups. For instance, you may notice
two or more system tray icons changing position with each boot -
even when no changes have been made to the order.]]

[[The order of items within a group is not necessarily the final
order, as some programs take longer than others to load, and
synchronous groups can overlap each other.]]

Items in 10 and 11 execute alphanumerically. You can change the
order in 10 and 11 by moving the items from 11 to 10. Also, you
can rename the shortcuts in 10 and/or 11.

For example; dfg.exe, fgh.exe and ghj.exe would start in that
order. To change the order rename to aghj.exe,bdfg.exe and
cfgh.exe. They would then start in that order.

Thanks Wesley,
I knew I had done it another way before...but forgot it was from
the Clasic View.
On this occasion I did it through explore and dragged the icon
into the startup folder from my desktop.
I did search help and support......but entered" Startup" for my
search...but didn't get the results you have supplied.
Thanks
Dermot

You didn't look in Help and Support.

From XP HELP:
To start a program each time you start Windows
1. Right-click the Start button, and then click Properties.
2. On the Start Menu tab, click Classic Start menu, and then
click Customize. This changes the style of the Start menu.
3. Click Advanced.
4. In the Start Menu folder, find the shortcut to the program you
want to start each time you start Windows, and drag it to the
Startup folder located in the Programs folder.

Where?

Documents and Settings\User name\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

I did a re-install recently and now some of my programs on't
start on boot. Previously I put them in a "Startup" folder but
I for get which one.
I did a search and found a few items called Startup".
I put a short cut in each of these folders, one at a time,
restarted but the program did not start on reboot. I have
returned my computer to the restore point I created before
trying this.
Can anyone tell me how I do this?
Is using the startup folder the only way to do this?
I have looked up MS KB but found no advise, I also used the help
and support, no instruction there either.

Thanks
Dermot
