If you are anything like me, you use the same MS Office programs over and over again, so why not save some time, keystrokes, and energy by having those programs open automatically when you turn on your computer?

Follow the steps below to learn how to work this particular magic:

In Microsoft Windows XP:

• On the Start menu, click on All Programs | Microsoft Office.  
   
• In the list of available Office programs, right-click the icon of the program or programs you want to start automatically.  
   
• Click Copy in the shortcut menu.  
   
• In the All Programs list, right-click the Startup folder and click Explore on the shortcut menu.  
   
• On the Edit menu, click Paste.

The next time you start your computer, Windows will automatically run the program or programs of your choice.

In Windows Vista:
