When a person boots his PC or logs into it, it automatically runs a slide show. This slide show may contain certain action points, remainders, to-do list etc. While leaving for the day,, the slides can be updated and also group updates can be done. On returning to work the next day, the slide show with updated messages will run automatically on booting up the PC. This will bring the person using the PC to the attention of pending tasks, new action points, etc,  How to ensure that a specific slide show runs automatically on booting the PC?

Warm regards

    Hi Steve

    Thanks for the solution.

    I tried by putting a short cut to slide show in the folder you have suggested. When I restarted the computer, the slide show automatically did not start. Then I clicked on the start button and saw that the shortcut was present as submenu of 'All Programs'. I noticed that that the Startup was empty.  I dragged the shortcut to slide show and placed it in startup. Next time, during the startup, the slide show played successfully.  Then I cheked the folder in which you need to put the short cut:

    C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

    Alternatively, you can drag and drop a short cut through Start Button->All Programs->Startup.

    Warm regards

    Yes ... it needs Startup at the end of the path.  I forgot to tack that on.

    I've never had occasion to try this (Outlook or some other task manager/reminder program seems a better solution to me) but you should be able to drop a shortcut to the presentation into the startup folder.

    C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
