Windows 10 'Startup Folder'
#1
Hi Guys,

Not getting anywhere on usual forums. Is there any way to get round the fact that there is no Startup Folder in Windows 10. I only have one executable programme that I need to 'start up'. Simple 'Sticky Notes' programme that works fine i.e. notes 'stays on top' where i want it, if I am leaving a note for my wife who shares the same computer it is always there for her to see. Before when I had it in startup I could leave a note 'always on top' and switch off the computer knowing it would still be there the next day. Now with it not starting up on boot the note is lost unless she launches the programme :-(

Many thanks.

You may find this article useful. I've followed this procedure in the past to have certain programs auto start with Windows.

Failing that, you can always use this Smile
Remember! You should exercise complete CTRL and you ALT to think carefully before you DELete stuff willy nilly.
