OE 6 on startup?

i'm trying to find a way of starting outlook express when i startup the PC.
it's usually the first thing i do anyway, so how can i get the PC to automatically start OE for me and how about minimizing it at the same time? so it can run in the background, while i get the coffee on??

TIA
jp

Send a message via MSN to doctorgonzo
Put a shortcut to OE in the Startup folder under Programs on your Start menu.

The easiest way to do this is to right-click on the Start button, click on "Explore", find the icon for OE and select Copy, then go to the Startup folder and right-click and do "Paste Shortcut"
