Launching Office Programs When Your Computer Boots Up

If you launch the same Microsoft Office program every morning – such as Outlook and/or Word -  you can have Windows automatically start up these programs when you start your computer.

Follow the steps below to learn how to work this particular magic:

If you are using Windows XP:

1. Click the Start Menu > All Programs > Microsoft Office
2. Right-click the icon for the program you want to automatically launch.
3. Click Copy from the shortcut menu.
4. Click All Programs in the Start Menu.
5. Right-click the Startup folder and click Explore on the shortcut menu to open the Startup folder
6. Select Edit > Paste from the menu.

If you are using Windows Vista:

1. Click the Start Menu > All Programs > Microsoft Office
2. Right-click the icon for the program you want to automatically launch.
3. Click Copy on the shortcut menu.
4. Click All Programs in the Start Menu.
5. Right-click the Startup folder and click Explore on the shortcut menu to open the Explore window.
6. Click the Organize button on top of the window and then click Paste.

The next time you start your computer, Windows will automatically launch the program that you added to the Startup folder.
