how to automatically start programs in Win XP, i.e., my calendar / contacts program (Palm Desktop)?

i recall you have to put a shortcut of the program in the startup folder of windows - tried it again this time, but won’t work.

I don’t know what to tell you. The way it is supposed to work is…in the Start Menu is a folder called Startup. Just put the shortcut in there and it will load when you start up Windows.

Download and install WinPatrol (Freeware version).

It will give you control over your Startup Programs and lots more.
