Opening Programmes at Start

Hi, hope I'm in the right place....

When I log on my home PC (Window XP with Office 2003), I'd like Outlook and
Explorer to open automatically, rather than having to select them from the
Start menu.

Any bright ideas as to where I can find out how to do this please?
 
From XP HELP:
To start a program each time you start Windows
1. Right-click the Start button, and then click Properties.
2. On the Start Menu tab, click Classic Start menu, and then click
Customize. This changes the style of the Start menu.
3. Click Advanced.
4. In the Start Menu folder, find the shortcut to the program you want to
start each time you start Windows, and drag it to the Startup folder
located in the Programs folder.

Where?

Documents and Settings\User name\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

To have any program start automatically when you boot, simply put
a shortcut to it in the folder
C:\Documents and Settings\Your-User-Name\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup

You can do this with as many programs as you want.
 
Brilliant!

Job done

thanks for your response - however Ken's reply was more "idiot proof"- a
pre-requisite in this case!

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to respond
 
At least you got what you needed. :-)
