Cant start Windows Live Mail/Messenger
I cant get either of these programs to start
at startup , so that they are open when my computer starts. I've moved a shortcut into the 'startup' folder in APPDATA,...also tried putting a shortcut in the startup folder in the start menu...tried adding it to startup via "Startup Guard'...clicked the boxes in the program that mention starting up at startup. What am I doing wrong!??
Thanks for any info

Hi, I dont believe I have that. I just got my computer, and the windows live stuff was already installed.
Oh no, I do have it, just checked. Hmm, now what?
I'm using Firefox...but that shouldnt effect my startup programs.

Just set Windows Messenger to sign you in at Windows Logon...
The sign in assistant will remember your messenger sign in credentials...

Well I'm doing everything right. But I figured it out-it's the infamous User Account Control. Of course.
If I disable it, my programs open up at startup no problem. With it on(on the 'lowest' setting) they dont open.
Very annoying. Whatever.
Thanks though Qdos for helping
