Wouldn't it be great to have all the web pages we frequent, run when we start the computer?
All we need to do is drop some shortcuts into our Startup Folder . Here's how:
1. First, open Internet Explorer and head to a page one wants to see when their computer starts.
2. Next, grab the little " e " next to the address and drag it over to the Start button. Don't let go, just hover over the button for a couple seconds. The Start menu should open.
3. Now, (still holding the mouse button down), move up to the Programs menu. The Programs menu should open.
4. Finally, move the mouse to the Startup folder (it will be underlined). Again, point to it for a second and it should open up. Drop the shortcut into it and we're all set. Make sure to drop the shortcut into the Startup Menu and NOT into the Programs menu by accident.
That's it. Restart the computer and the browser should inshallah launch, opening all the stuff we just put into the Startup menu.
I want to mention that this works better for those with an "always on" type internet connection. When Windows starts, we're already online so we really get the benefit of this little trick.
If we have a regular dial-up connection, that works too - just not quite as well. Ideally, our dial up connection should be set to automatically dial, that way when we start the computer, it automatically dials and loads the pages for us.
