Great answer... except for being overly complicated and, oh yeah, completely wrong! "C:\Windows\Start Menu"? This wouldn't make it run at startup--even if this directory *existed* in XP (which it doesn鈥檛). Report It


"put ie in that"? You don't even say where IE is located. Or how you "put" it somewhere. Or for that matter, that you don't "put" IE anywhere to accomplish what the asker wants.

For any who care, the last two answers are pretty much right.

This is 鈥楤est of Answers鈥? Ridiculous. Just... ridiculous. Report It


I agree w/ macro Report It


You should use Firefox, but Internet Explorer is just as good if you are not going to websites that are vulnerable to attack, which most people don't. Report It


This is wrong you use msconfig to start programs on startup. Report It


Most long-winded answer ever. How about simply dragging and dropping the IE icon into your startup group? Start -%26gt; All Programs -%26gt; Start up Report It


Start--%26gt;Programs

Right CLick the "Internet Explorer" Icon and click "Create Shortcut"

Now left click and drag "Internet Explorer(2)" at the bottom to the "Startup" Group Folder, wait half a second for it to expand and drag and drop into the list that just appeared on the right. If you did it it right, you should only see the "Internet Explorer(2)" when you hover over the "Startup" folder without clicking anything.
Short answer.

Just click and drag the IE shortcut button and drop it at the Startup folder inside your Programs menu (at the Start Menu).
start up folder put a exe that starts ie in there
