How To Make Microsoft Outlook Run At Startup

The Windows operating system is used widely across the world owing to its ease of use and the user-friendly features. This operating system maintains a folder that holds the shortcuts to programs that load every time the user logs into the operating system. Some programs, including system security and instant messenger applications may place a shortcut in the folder during the process of installation. This will make sure that the program loads automatically when the operating system loads. Even though the Microsoft Outlook does not make a shortcut on its own, the user will be able to easily add the program to the list of the startup programs. After you add the program, it will open and then download the new email messages every time you start the computer.
