How to Add Windows 7 Startup Programs
Beginning with Windows 95, Microsoft has made adding programs to the startup folder so easy that you can simply navigate to the folder in Windows Explorer and drag shortcuts or programs directly into it.
The Startup folder, conveniently displayed on the Start menu, made it easy to see what programs would launch when Windows booted. In Windows 7, however, the Startup folder is a hidden system folder that is not in the same location as the Startup folders in Windows XP.
This article explains how to easily add programs to the Windows 7 startup folder, for both the current user and all users of the computer.
