| | Re: Add Start-up program Click the "Start" button, Click "All Programs" then right click the "Startup" folder. Notice one of the options is "Open All Users". Select it, and try putting the shortcut to the program you want to run for all users there. Go to C:\Users\User_name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup If you don't see it, make sure that hidden files are turned on. -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "Mellowed" <nospam@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:Qb_Yi.4$VB6.3@xxxxxx Quote: > How can I add a program to the Start-Up process.

| | Re: Add Start-up program Sorry, I don't understand. 1. The Paste functions are grayed out 2. Paste 'just fine'? I don't understand 'just fine' and 'my startup program'. Could you elaborate?

| | Re: Add Start-up program It might be a security program blocking the Registry change it needs to make. A few, but not all, of the programs now doing this are: Ad-aware's Ad-Watch IBM Access Connections McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware Norton AV Spyware Blaster Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks Spybot- Teatimer Spysweeper Spyware Doctor Windows Defender Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions. In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 or Norton 2007 it actually has to be uninstalled. Make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you reinstall Zone Alarm. Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and try the change. "Mellowed" <nospam@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:XW%Yi.486$CI1.220@xxxxxx Quote: > Sorry, I don't understand. > 1.
