he didnt want to put it on the start menu HM he wanted it in the startup menu.

As an aside something I have found especially helpful for progs that start up but you cant stop them is ..

Start menu/Run type msconfig and hit enter. Click the startup tab and you will be presented with a list of programs currently run on startup, uncheck the ones you dont want and restart, you will be presented with a window telling you you are running in selective startup mode for troubleshooting(or something like that) click the dont tell me about this again box and click ok, jobs a goodun.

This is especially good for that virus that wont let itself be deleted because its running all the time.

I am always wary of systems where the user has added a lot of items to the start menu, as this slows the system down a fair bit.
If it is only one application it probably would not cause an issue but as it is Outlook bear in mind it is going to want to connect to the server which uses resources that the system needs to start everything else. You are far better starting apps from a script that has say a 20 second wait command attached to it, as this gives time for the OS to finish starting up.
