Startup folder doesn't do it.

I want my Google gadgetbar to start up when I restart my computer. I also
want internet explorer to start automatically.

I read the Help, and made a shortcut for each and put it in the Startup
folder.

Well I restarted a few times and all it shows is the desktop.

What am I doing wrong?

Re: Startup folder doesn't do it.

Hello,

Make sure you put the shortcuts in the folder that opens when you do this:

- right-click the start orb
- click open
- double-click programs
- double-click startup
