Some users always start working on a computer by launching a specific program or by opening a specific folder. Of course, you can bring the shortcuts of all the necessary folders and applications to the "Desktop" or the Quick Launch bar. But you can also open the desired folder when the system boots in automatic mode.
Instructions
Step 1
In order to open the folder you need every time you start your computer, you must add it to Startup. This can be done in several ways. If the folder you want appears in the Start menu, add it to the Startup folder right in the Start menu. To do this, move the cursor to the icon of the required folder and, while holding down the left mouse button, move it to the "Startup" section. The folder will open automatically the next time the system boots.
Step 2
If the folder you want is not on the Start menu, add it yourself. To do this, right-click on the "Start" button and select "Properties" from the drop-down menu. A new dialog box will open. You can call it in another way. Through the "Start" menu, open the "Control Panel" and click in the "Appearance and Themes" category on the "Taskbar and Start Menu" component with the left mouse button. Third option: right-click on the "Taskbar" and select "Properties" from the drop-down menu.
Step 3
In the window that opens, go to the "Start Menu" tab and make sure the marker is set to the "Classic Start Menu" box. Click on the "Configure" button located opposite the selected field - an additional dialog box will open. Click on the "Add" button in it and in the "Create shortcut" window specify the path to the folder you need. Specify the location for the shortcut to the "Main Menu" folder. Save changes and close windows. Open the Start menu and add the folder shortcut to Startup as described in the first step.
Step 4
There is also another way. Create a shortcut to the folder you need. To do this, right-click on its icon and select the "Send" command in the drop-down menu, select the "Desktop (Create shortcut)" command in the submenu. Through the component "My Computer" open the disk where the system is installed, then open the Documents and Settings folder. Subsequent path: Admin / Main menu / Programs / Startup.
Step 5
Click on the "Desktop" on the created folder shortcut with the right mouse button and select the "Cut" command from the drop-down menu. Go to the "Startup" folder you opened and right-click in any of its free space. Select "Paste" from the drop-down menu. Alternatively, place the cursor on the shortcut of the required folder and drag this shortcut to the Startup folder while holding down the left mouse button.
