| 3. | Go to the Start screen |
| 4. | Click on the down arrow to show all your applications |
 |
|
| 5.. | Right click on the application you would like to have start automatically. In the following example, I selected Outlook |

| 7. | This will bring up the location where the program is started. Again, in this example it is for Outlook |
 |
|
| 8. | Right click and select Copy |
| 9. | On your computer, from the same Explorer window, go to:C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Where USERNAME is replaced by the name of the user that is logging in. |
| 10. | Then select Paste Shortcut |
