Start Up

[Tom Sherman]

When I turn on the power, how can I make the thing open
in Outlook Express directly, without going thru Login,
desk top, Start, or anything else?
Just start directly in OE.

Hi Tom,

First, setup an autologon to your profile, then add a shortcut to Outlook
Express to your startup folder.

Start/run "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes).

Uncheck the box requiring a username and password, click apply/ok and follow
the prompts to set up a default logon.

Then, open Windows Explorer to this folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Click file/new/shortcut and browse to:
C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe

and select it, then click next. Give it a name, then click finish.
