How do you add a simple shortcut to a startup folder? Like, i want “winword” to start up on login. I add that to startup folder. How do I do that using GP? I fucking can’t find anything on the interweb, or maybe I just suck at searching. ---

No, I want another program, but it is the exact same situation. i just don’t feel like manually dropping a shortcut on 55 computers. ---

> [@Locutus](#): > > cant you just set up a start up script and go from there? We have one, but sometimes if the computer doesn’t run the script due to a couple things… we still want it to open up. That and our startup script is getting huge as is. ---

That’s fine - we only care about the research analysts… they only sit on specific machines… I mean, I can just go into all the machines manually (well, from my computer) and drop the shortcut into the all users startup folder. But I want to figure out a way to do this for future reference. ---
