    Startup Folder Missing - Win 7


    I've accessed C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs to try to find my startup folder, but it's not there. As I go through the filepath above, the AppData folder is greyed out, but still allows me to click on it and go through the remainder of the filepath. How can I access the startup folder?

    You could try:
    Click on the Orb (start menu)
    Right clcik on the All Programs bar
    Select Open

    That will take you to the top level folder of Start Menu
    You should see the Programs folder in the main pane
    Open Programs folder
    the startup folder might be there

    or

    Right clcik on the All Programs bar
    Select Open All Users
    Open the Programs folder

    is Startup there?

    Hello Garcia,

    See if typing the command below in the Run (Windows + R) dialog and pressing Enter may open your Startup folder.

    shell:startup

    Startup Programs - Change

    Hope this helps, :)
