Computer Wizards - How do I .........

[NadineBaggott]

get my microsoft calendar to open as soon as I log on?

I'm hopeless at remembering to look in diaires, remember dates but I ALWAYS come on the computer so if my calendar/diary opens as soon as i log on I should see important dates.

Help me!

Are you using Windows XP? Rightclick on the icon on your desktop, then select "Pin to Start Menu". That should do it.

ooh thanks Lapin I'll try that

if it works I'll buy you some soap for Christmas .....

LOL, I knew you'd get soap into your reply!

it didn't work

My bad.

OK, open an Explorer Window (right click on the Start button, select Explore} It may well open in the Start Menu folder; if not, you want C:\Documents and Settings[your profilename if you have one]\Start Menu. Then go into Programs\Startup.

Resize the window so you can also see the desktop icon of the program you want to start automatically. Click on hold the mouse on the icon; holding down the Ctrl key, drag the icon into the Startup folder. (If you don't hold teh Ctrl key, it will just move the program icon, not copy it).

Restart you computer and that should work! (worked on mine )

hurrah! thanks

hee hee
