Computer Q&A Board / Windows / Lost Program at Start-up
Posted by: JAM, February 11th, 2007, 1:47pm
I have a Great Calendar Reminder program, that I've had for years, that always came up at start-up. After messing around with my computer, when I was trying to eleminate some of the things that kept trying to run in the background, I think I deleted this program from my start-up. I don't want to re-install it, because I'll loose all of the info I've already added to the calendar for the year.
Sorry to ramble, but, is there any way to get the daily reminders to show up at start-up again? They are no longer on the start-up list.
Thanks

Find the program on your computer (look in the Start menu or in Windows Explorer) and run it manually. There should be a setting in it which will add it to startup. This would be the preferred way to add it to startup.
The next preferred way would be to reinstall it. Install does not always remove your info. You could copy all of the files in the folder to a backup folder then install and then copy them back.
Another way would be to add a shortcut in the Startup folder (in Start/All Programs) to the program. There may be parameters that you have to add to the command that runs the program and the program may want it to be in a different place. There are other ways to start a program at startup but the Startup folder is the easiest.
