Greetings Sheri and list-- ----- Original Message ----- From: "sheri r makowski" <[log in to unmask]> > How can I get Outlook load up at start up? > OS= Win 98 SE, Outlook is part of Office 2000 > The easiest way to make Outlook load on startup is to create a shortcut for it in the C:\Windows\Programs\Startup folder. There are (as with most things Windows) a number of ways to do this. I'll just relate one which may help make it more "visual" for you. 1. Double-click "My Computer". 2. Double-click "C:" drive (or <drive name> (C:)) 3. Double-click the "Windows" folder. 4. Click "Show files" link, if necessary. 5. Double-click the "Programs" folder. 6. Double-click the "Startup" folder. 7. Right-click in the empty area of the open folder. 8. Left-click "New". 9. Left-click "Shortcut". 10. When the dialog box opens, click "Browse". 11. Use the same double-click progression as above to go from "My Computer" to "C: drive" to "Program Files" to "Microsoft Office" to "Office". 12. Within the "Office" folder is the "Outlook.exe" file. 13. Left-click on "Outlook.exe", then click "OK". 14. Click "Next". 15. Name the new shortcut with whatever name suits you. 16. Click "Finish". You should now have a shortcut in the Startup folder, which will load that program when Windows starts. Good luck and I hope this has helped. Paul A.
