I use Mozilla Sunbird as my calendar on an XPpro computer.
When I switch on my computer I would like to have that program open and present me with my weeks appointments etc. without having to launch it manually.
I used to be able to do that with MS Outlook Today but now would prefer to use the Sunbird
Any ideas?

I'm not familiar with Mozilla Sunbird, however you should be able to drag a shortcut for the application in to the Startup folder in your Start Menu. Any shortcuts in this location will run on boot.

That is brilliant I wondered how to get programs to auto boot that dont have the feature. Excellent tip.

I always wondered what that startup folder was for as its always empty!

Glad we were able to help you.
In my case it's great to have my diary open on the screen at start up - no excuse then for forgetting something!!
