[Tip:] How to add programs to the startup folder in Windows 7

Here's an easy tip that many people probably don't know, how Do you add programs to the startup of folder.

there are two ways you can do this:

1) Right click drag and drop of the program into the start menu startup folder and select 'create shortcut here' option.

2) Goto this path :

C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

This folder is normally a hidden folder. Right-click on the shortcut that you want, drag it to this folder and choose the option Create shortcuts here when you release the mouse button.

That's it I hope this helps somebody.

In the rare occasion you you want a program running on startup, this is a good tip. I recommend running as little programs as possible at startup to keep all your memory and processor power available for programs you are currently running.

You're right about this as well, I've seen many a person's computers with 15 to 20 icons in the corner sometimes even more. And then they complain that the computer is slow, close some of the programs, and you regain your computers speed and responsiveness.
