Windows 8 Startup Folder

Windows 8, well now 8.1, has a lot of changes to it. Took me a while to get used to it – on dual monitors or with a touch screen it’s pretty decent.

Anyway, I couldn’t find my startup folder easily. Windows 7/Vista you could hit start, then type in “startup” and away you go. Before that you could explore all users by right-clicking on start and then drill down to find your startup folder.

BTW, I know that the startup folder resides in the c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\ directory, but who wants to type out all that?

Win + R, “shell:startup”, enter
