Quicken Tips

Autostart Quicken

Remember when you were a schoolchild and you had a big crush on that kid who sat behind you? How you couldn't wait to see him or her first thing in the morning? Now that you're all grown up, do you feel that way about Quicken? If so, you should seek help. In the meantime, if you run Windows 95 and use Quicken every day, you may want to have it start automatically, as soon as Windows 95 opens. What could be better? You turn on the computer, and there's Quicken. If you like this idea, here's how to set it up.

• Close Quicken.
• Run Windows Explorer.
• Locate the Windows folder.
• Click on the plus sign on the left of the folder to open it.
• Locate the Start Menu folder.
• Click on its plus sign.
• Locate Programs.
• Click on its plus sign.
• Click on Quicken.
• Use the mouse to drag Quicken 6 for Windows to the StartUp folder.
• Click on the Close box at the upper right corner of the Explorer window (it looks like an X).

Now when you turn on your computer, Quicken will be there waiting for you. Try not to blush.
