Very simple question - hoping for a very simple answer!!!

Hi all
:)

I want to have a program(coolplayer) run as soon as XP is up and running, so that I don't have to run it manually.

Under 95/98, I could paste a shortcut to it into C:\WINDOWS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\START UP and the program would run when I next rebooted.

I cannot find out how to do this, under XP...
:(

I've had a quick search on the net, and here on the forums for the answer, but have not found what I need.

Is there somewhere I can paste a shortcut to a program .exe file, so that that program will run when XP is started???

The program does not use an installer(it's not needed - it's self contained), and does not need any other files other then itself. This is why I want to make a link somewhere, so it will run.

Hope someone can help me out here.

Thanks.
:)

Place your short cuts in C:\documents and settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

Where it says "all users" you can choose which ever user, its till the same path after that.

You can also just draq a shortcut onto the Start Button and on up into the spot where you want it - and just drop it there. If you drag it from the desktop then the original will remain on the desktop.
