    How can I have a program start automatically when Windows starts?


    A new program I am trying out is GotoCamera, a webcam tool.
    There is no way I can find in the software setup that allows it to start automatically when Windows starts. With Windows XP I could add it to a startup folder, but I don't think Windows 7 has one. How can I get GotoCamera to start automatically when I start Windows? Thanks!

    Press Start then All Programs and scroll down to the Startup folder. You can right click on this and open it.
