How can I setup Sympatico to startup automatically?

I want the Sympatico connection to happen automatically when I start-up my computer.
What do I use to make that happen?

The only Sympatico I see, seems to be a internet portal. Is this correct?

If yes, try making it (Sympatico) your homepage in whatever browser, and set that (browser) to start on boot, either by checking an option in Settings, or dropping it in the Startup Folder.

Sympatico is a company that allows its subscribers to connect to the Internet. So I guess it is an Internet portal. LOL!

I tried to get the Sympatico software to start up automatically  by sticking the Sympatico icon in the startup folder. That didn't work...

Under Sympatico properties which option would I select to cause the Sympatico software to start up automatically at system start-up?

I discovered that the problem may be the modem. The current modem is dated from the 1980s... Calling Sympatico and request a new modem.
Cheers!

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
