Re: Program Startup

Thanks for the reply Rock,

Although I have Office installed I want to use the Calender in Works which I
did on my previous computer so I installed the full works suite but it
hasn't put an entry in msconfig or in the two registry hives that you
mention below. Also I don't know how to ' put a call ' to it in the registry
if you can advise me on that or any other suggestion.

The only two components that I was to use is Money and the Calender although
I have to keep that version of Word or my Outlook Express spell-check
changes to France as I use Office 2007.

Further thoughts appreciated.

I have installed a program that I want the computer to load at startup. I
do not want it in the startup folder where it opens on the computer
starting up but I would like it to load and run in the background.

Strangely this program is not listed in msconfig/startup and I was
wondering if there is anyway that it can be put in that folder.

It won't be listed unless it's set in some fashion to run at start up. Is
it?

Does the program have an option to have it run at start up? If not place
a call to it in one of the Run keys in the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
