>From eye-balling the address is incorrect.
The Start Up-folder is part of the Windows "Start Up-routine"-procedure and should
only hold links to files that User wants to be RUN.................on Start Up.
-In this Start Up-folder, only links (files with the .lnk extension) are to be stored, eg
the 1 kB (text) links that refer to their consequtive "real" files (program file(s)), that
are stored "in full" elsewhere on disk.
-Only (and right) on Start Up, Windows will RUN these links, better it will RUN the
referenced files (exe's or other files) themselves, eg files that these link-files refer to.
-To my knowledge no "program"-folder (or any other folder) should ever be stored in
this Start Up-folder, for they will not ever be called upon ('seen') by
the OS (eg Windows) Start Up-procedure.
------------------------------------
Example:
Here the Windows' Start Up-folder is situated below the Programs-folder, eg
"C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up"
To create a (shortcut) link:
1.-In Windows Explorer, go to the Start Up folder
"C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up"
2.-In the pane on the right :
- right-click and choose New
- click the "Shortcut"- template (2nd from the Top)
- type for Address:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IExplorer.exe"
- type for Name:
"Internet Explorer"
-click OK
3.-Re-Boot (or Log-off/Re-Start Windows)
The Start Up-folder will now hold a shortcut link to IExplorer.exe, eg
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IExplorer.exe"
and the link is named "Internet Explorer" and placed in the "Start Up" folder
will have IE5 start the same time when Windows (eg the GUI) starts.
