Windows 10: How do I get Win 10 to load Win Live Mail upon startup and waking?

Hello!

I've been using Win 10 for some weeks. Until today, it would open three programs for me upon startup and waking, as had happened with Windows 7 before I upgraded to Windows 10.

Today my user account settings were changed and now one of the programs no longer opens unless I click on the icon. It's Windows Live Mail. I tried Pin to Taskbar, Pin to Start, and a combo of both but the email program does not load unless I click the icon.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

:)

 

Mail When trying to get Mail to work I can get to Windows pswd but get the error something went wrong. How can I get past this point?

how do I setup Mail???? I am using Live Mail 2012 and if I go into MS account I can use Mail but it will not load from Start or anywhere else. Using asus X53E with 8 Gb mem and win 10 build 586

I am not trying to setup Live Mail as that is already working. I am trying to get MS Mail from Start to work again. when I punch Mail it now comes up with add acct. but won't go any further. It did work previous to your latest Mail update. There is a difference
between Mail ( that comes with Win) and Live Mail 2012. It used to ask for Windows pswd but then give either wrong pswd or there was an error. Every time the programmers change something all **** follows. Please direct me to the correct info

For Option One:
-- Is the only way to get to the Task Manager via ctrl + alt + del, or is there another way?

-- When clicking on the "Startup" tab in Task Manager, I do not see Windows Live Mail In the list of programs. How do you add a program to this list?

-- I saw loads of things in the Startup area and wonder how they got there or of they need to be there. Some examples: DropBox (listed twice) and some Apple programs such as iTunes.

For Option Two: where can I find "File Explorer"?

Thanks.

 

..................For Option Two: where can I find "File Explorer"? ................................

Type file explorer in the search box > Enter.
OR,
at the taskbar, click that icon .....................

 

Found File Explorer by clicking on the start button; FE was listed there, but it was of no help. "This PC" didn't help either. My computer must be set up differently than most.

In most earlier versions of Windows, it was possible to search for "All Programs" and then scroll down the folders. How does one do this in Win 10?

 

By clicking "All apps".

 

Made a bit of progress using Cortana and typing in this string that was in one of the examples given by essenbe:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

At this location, I see two of the three programs I want to open at startup. How can I add the third program (Windows Live Mail) to this folder?

Thanks.

 

Make a shortcut of Windows Live Mail on your desktop.
Copy the shortcut in that location.
Close the folder.

Restart to check if it is added.

 

See Option 2. You will have to unhide hidden folders (https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/9...dows-10-a.html) Hide them again after you are finished.

 

The only two options are "Pin to Start" and "Pin to Taskbar." There is no "Create Shortcut" option when I right click on "Windows Live Mail." Any idea where/how to create a shortcut for it?

 

Finally was able to see that toolbar by clicking on the "View" tab. The "hidden" option was and is selected (box is ticked). Do I need to deselect this box? Thanks.

 

That is a big difference of Windows 10 with its predecessors.

Well, I dont have WLM, I am siting an example using VLC Media Player.

Start > All Apps > VideoLAN. I click on VideoLAN to expand it. VLC Media Player is under it.
Right Click on Vlc Media Player > More > Open File Location. Like the image below:




Now, When I click on "Open File Location", I see a Shortcut of VLC Media Player is there, already.




Just copy it (not cut) and paste in the desired location, that is ....
Code: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup[/quote] Done.

Now apply the hide back. Restart.

 

View > Options > Change Folder and Seh Options.






The Folder Options dialog will appear.
Click on the View tab of it. Do these two there .....








Done.
