How to add items to Startup menu in Windows 7 x64 Bit

(See attached image).

In WinXP you could put a shortcut in the C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Startup  folder to add a program to startup when Windows starts.

Where is the equivalent folder in Win7 X64 ?  Or is there some other way to do this via the UI?

The folders may be hidden. To be able to view hidden files and folders do the following:

Open Windows Explorer.
Tools - Folder Options - View
Scroll down and check "Show hidden files and folders"
Hit apply.

The folders should be visible.

That's it.  I added Taskmgr and it now starts up.

Thank you ...
