    How do I Automatically start selected applications on startup?
    I would like IE7 & my email application (Groupwise v 8.0.2) to start without my manually selecting the shortcut when i start my PC.
    Is there a way to set this via GUI interface of do I need to adjust the registry?
    Specific directions are welcomed & needed.

    Thanks

    system:
    MS Windows XP 2002 - Service Pack 3
    AMD Phenom II X2 B55
    2.99GHz, 3.49 GB RAM

    Just add shortcuts to the STARTUP folder.
