I've put a short cut of windows calendar in the startup folder but it doesn't
startup when I start the computer. I cannot see anywhere on screen saying
that its blocked for any reason.

Can anyone help a vista new comer?

Are you booting the machine each time or just resuming from sleep mode?

Oops, well the OP should try using the Task Scheduler.

Are you just searching the KB and picking random pages?

I just tried it and it worked fine.
Right click on Windows in the start menu and select Send to > Desktop
Then drag this shortcut into the startup menu folder.
