Launching Excel on Windows Startup
For you real hardcore Excel users, the only real solution to the Excel launch problem is to have Windows automatically launch Excel for you every time you start your computer! The procedure is easy: All you have to do is drag the Microsoft Office Excel 2003 menu item from the Microsoft Office submenu to the Startup submenu:
- Click the Start button on Windows taskbar or press Ctrl+Esc to open the Start menu.
- Choose All Programs → Microsoft Office to open the submenu.
- Drag the Microsoft Office Excel 2003 menu item from this submenu to the Startup menu on the All Programs menu.
- Drop the Microsoft Office Excel 2003 menu item anywhere on the Startup submenu.
After moving Microsoft Office Excel 2003 to the Windows Startup menu, Windows launches the program every time you start or restart Windows.
To stop having Excel launch every time you start your computer, drag the Microsoft Office Excel 2003 item back to its original home on the Microsoft Office submenu.
