This is one answer I got:

I had already tried this as I explained in my original post, and this did
not work.

This is the other answer I got:

There was NO Startup folder at that location.

I asked about a week ago what I should do next, if I should create a new
"Start-up" folder, but no one replied.

So I tried creating a new "Start-up" and put the new shortcuts (to other
programs) in it, but this did not work. None of the programs started on the
next boot-up.

I've tried this in different ways, drag this folder and various shortcuts
back and forth between this folder and my Start menu -- and NOTHING WORKS.

Does anyone know HOW I can SOLVE this, please!

Startup folder is located here: C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Start
Menu\Programs\ Looks like the quote you included has a typo. C not G!
