Favourite Web Pages At Start-up

Would you like your Favourite Web site and your E-Mail account to open automatically when you power-up ( Boot-up ) ?

Well you can it is a little phaffy, and you have to keep holding the mouse button down for a short while, but when finished it is worth it.

What it implies is adding the shortcut to your Start-up Folder

To commence :- Open Internet Explorer and select the page you want to see when your computer starts. When there grab the little " e " next to the address, and drag it over to the Start button. Don't let go of the button, just hover over the button for a couple seconds. The Start menu will open.

The "e" you need to drag:

Still holding the mouse button down, move to the All Programs menu. The Programs menu will open. Keep the mouse button held firmly down Now move your mouse to the Startup folder. Wait a moment and the Startup window will open.

Now get ready you are going to let go of the button when you have taken the cursor over the opened window. Ensure that you dropped the shortcut into the Startup Menu you should see it displayed in the list of items.

With E-Mail it is slightly different in so much as you use the Right-button on the mouse. This time, drag the icon with your RIGHT mouse button and follow the procedure above.

When you let go of the icon to drop it into the start menu, a little window will open and you select " Copy Here ". If you were to left-click and drag it, it would remove the icon from its current location and move it to your Startup folder. So exercise caution in selecting the Right-hand button.

Now this tip is mainly for those who are always on-line ( Broadband ), which loads on power-up. It can also work for those who are on Dial-up provided you have a shortcut in the Start-up folder which is set to automatically dial at power-up.
