I placed the powerhome.exe file in my startup folder on
Vista Ultimate and nothing happened with powerhome when i
started the machine. I had previously used the task
scheduler, like i normally do for Vista startup items, but
I was getting an odbc connection dialog for the sybase
database so I went the startup folder route.
Now I feel like a real moron as I cannot figure out how to
start PH on startup of Vista. Thanks in advance for any
help on this.....

I just drop the PH shortcut NOT the .exe file in the startup folder.

....duh...I thought that's what I was doing. I
thought i made a shortcut on the desktop and dragged it
into the startup folder. When in fact i dragged the actual
.exe file.
I am a moron!
Thanks for your help.....
