Hi LaTonya,

Is this for 500 free e-mails sent, in total, or for up to 500 e-mails sent each time you need to send out a marketing piece on an event?

When I find new products or services I like to forward them on to the group. If you have always wanted to use Constant Contact but could not afford it, I have a service you may find more economical. I guess this is my way of saying FREE. MailChimp, http://www.mailchimp.com/, is a service very similar to Constant Contact except that they have a free version. You can send up to 500 emails using it. Check them out and tell me what you think. They have a lot of the same features as some of the other companies you may currently be using. If you have a newsletter and/or a website let this service do all of the work. And make sure you put your social media buttons to work for you.

Three reasons you'll ? MailChimp

1. We've got more email marketing features than you can shake a banana at.
2. We make it easy to track everything, so you can see quick results for every email campaign you send.
3. Did we mention it's free for up to 500 subscribers? Sign Up Now!

This won't put the file in a start folder, but it will achieve the same purpose. Go to where the file is located in your directory. Right click on the file and select copy. Go to your desktop and right click and select paste short-cut. Instead of opening excel and then opening the file, doubleclick on the shortcut to the file, opening excel and the file all in one step.

I use a daily log to log in /out all correspondence coming in and out of the director's office.  I would like that log (Excel file) to open when I start up. 

I recall you used to be able to put files in a folder, and they would start when you started up.  I can't find anything. 

Any hints/advice would be appreciated

Thanks!

Good Morning Jennifer,

I believe you are referring to the Startup folder that appears under All Programs on the Start menu.  Using Windows XP, I was able to add a specific Excel file to the Startup folder by:

1. Navigating to the the location of the Excel file.
2. On the Edit menu, clicking 'Copy to folder'.
3. Navigating to the computer's primary hard drive (in most cases, I believe it is C:), Documents and Settings, my username, Start Menu, Programs and Startup.
4. Click 'Copy' button.

When I checked the Startup folder in the Start Menu, the Excel file was listed.  I didn't actually restart my computer to test it, but it seems to me that if it's in the folder it should work properly.

Have a great day!

One way would be to create a shortcut for your desktop, here is how Excel Help lays out the steps to setting it up.

Make a switch available for reuse by creating a shortcut

First, verify the location of the Excel.exe file on your computer. If you accepted the default folder locations when you installed Excel, the Excel.exe file is probably located at:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Excel.exe

If you do not find the Excel.exe file at that location, search for the file and make a note of the full path.

1. Right-click the Windows desktop, point to New, and then click Shortcut on the shortcut menu.
2. In the Create Shortcut Wizard, in the Type the location of the item box, type a quotation mark ("), enter the full path for the Excel.exe file (including the file name), and then type a quotation mark. (Alternatively, click Browse to locate and select the file. In this case, the quotation marks are added automatically.)
3. Following the closing quotation mark, type a space, and then type the switch and any parameters. If the parameter is a path to a location on your computer, and the path contains a space, it also must be enclosed in quotation marks. For example:

"c:\program files\microsoft office\office12\excel.exe" /r "c:\My Folder\book1.xlsx"

4. Click Next.
5. In the Type a name for this shortcut box, type a name for the shortcut, and then click Finish.

The wizard creates the shortcut and places it on the desktop.

6. Whenever you want to start Excel in this particular customized way, double-click the shortcut.

 Tip   To add the desktop shortcut to the Windows Start menu, right-click the shortcut, and then click Pin to Start menu on the shortcut menu.

You can create a variety of shortcuts, each of which applies different switches and parameters to the program at startup.

 Notes 

• Switches and parameters are not case-sensitive. For example, /R functions the same as /r.
• Remember to include one blank space before the switch and one before each parameter

Hope this helps!
