How do a make a document auto startup in XP ?

I have a file on a friends machine that I would like to open when he turns his computer on. It is an Excel spreadsheet - he has XP.

Is there a way I can put the file into the Startup group so that it will open when he boots up ?

Thanks

and what exactly would be motivation for such a prank?
unless i am mistaken...excel files can be loaded with some nasty macros...

copy a shortcut to his startup folder
C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Thanks Vargas.

And FKUDUP74 it is not a prank as my friends computer is nto connected to the net, its just that he is not computer literate and wants to access this file only.

Couldnt u make it available on the desktop clearly where he could see it? :huh:

Maybe you could just stick it in his autostart folder in the start menu.
