Launch+Program+at+Windows+Start+up+does+not+work

Problem
The **Launch Program at Windows Start up** does not work (from the menubar: **Settings | Program Settings**)

Solution
For Windows operating systems prior to Vista, Virtual Weather Station and Weather Exchange set a flag in the registry to automatically start. However, subsequent operating systems as well as virus protection prevent this registry flag from being set. Therefore, you will have to place a shortcut of the Virtual Weather Station or Weather Exchange icon in the startup directory.

> > **C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup** > > Open this directory through Internet Explorer.
 * 1) To place a shortcut of Virtual Weather Station or Weather Exchange in the start up directory, locate the following directory:
 * 1) Right click on the Virtual Weather Station or Weather Exchange icon on your desktop and select **Copy**.
 * 2) Right click within the Startup directory and select Paste. A shortcut will then be copied into the startup directory. All files within the Startup directory will start automatically when Windows is launched.
