If you just want to open the folder on boot, why not simply drag a shadow of the folder into the startup folder, the same way you would get anything else to start up on boot? The 'startup.cmd' folder is there for compatability reasons with old OS/2 1.x programs, and is executed before the WPS starts up. You should always use the startup folder, if possible. Handy hint - if you want items in the startup folder to launch in a specific order, open the folder up in 'flowed' or 'details' view and drag the objects inside to the order you want them to start up...
