startup programs

my problem is that i took some programs out of the startup menu using
msconfig but i need to put two programs back. I thought i could go back into
the startup menu and tick them but they have gone! I have been into the
programs themselves but there is no facility to place them back into the
startup. Any ideas

thanks for any help

Hi

Have you tried reinstalling the programs?

Will and Malke have both given you good suggestions. I'll add a third
alternative: put a shortcut toeach of them in the folder

C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
