Recently our office has undergone a change from Windows XP to Windows 7. Win XP has been a good operating system but since Microsoft abadoned it, companies had started to adapt Windows 7.
Well of course in connection to that, customizations need to be done. Right now the way for the startup folder has somewhat changed.
the simple way to place a shortcut is using the following location
C:\Users\<YOURUSERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
I created a youtube video to show the slideshow of my journey.
Hope you enjoy the video.
