You need to put a Word shortcut into your startup folder which is located in
the all programs menu. To do this go to your
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office
right click and copy the Word shortcut into
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Word will now startup automatically for all users who logon to the PC. If
you only want it automatically startup when you logon place the Word shortcut
into
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
You can do this same process for other applications to. If you have any
problems reply to this post.
