Many ways to do this, here's one.

Create a shortcut to the ????????.EXE file.
(This is the application file of the desired program).
Cut and paste the shortcut to;

C:\windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

Put a shortcut to the program in the startup folder of the all users profile, or default users profile.

C:documents and settings/all users/start menu/programs/startup.

I as a rule remove everything from the startup folders as this is a known problem with Windows and how it allocates memory. Some programs can cause the system to lockup after time when launched this way so monitor your PC's if you do do this autostart.

Placing it in AllUsers folder will cause Outlook start automatically for all the users loggin on the system.

If you require OL to start only under your logon, copy it to ur profile

C:\Documents and Settings\<>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Hey,

You could put it in Startup as suggested, you could schedule a task from Control Panel to have it run at login.

I do agree with steve.hascall about not having it launch when Windows starts. I have had many more problems with it in startup or launching it manually before the system is completely booted up.

I would test it to see how it works for you.
