2. To create the shortcut right click on the MS Outlook’s icon then a pop up menu will come
3. Then click Send to
4. Then click Desktop (Create Shortcut)
5.  A shortcut will be created and placed in the Desktop
6. Select the shortcut and Cut it.
7. Then go to
8. Start > All Programs > Startup

Now we are done.

Form now every time you starts your Windows OS, MS Outlook will start at the startup.
