How to find the Startup folder in Windows 10

When I had been asked that question recently, my immediate thought was that it's on the Start menu. But that was not the case since Windows 7. Now, in my defense, although I personally use Windows 10 at home, I've been using office 2013 professional plus product key at the office. So sometimes, I get confused since I'm kind of stuck in two worlds Windows wise, that's.

In any case, once I recovered my Windows wits, I figured the quickest way to locate the Startup folder in buy office 2010 standard would be to click on the Start button and then type Startup. While that works, it requires you straight to the system-level Startup folder that applies to all users of the system to not the logged-in user's Startup folder, which is what my inquisitor was seeking to find.

Whoa, that's two strikes. Fortunately, I had been playing out this scenario on my own prior to actually responding to the question.

Of course, there's the brute force method, in which you enable the Show Hidden Files option in File Explorer after which manually drill down through the path C:Users usernameAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup. But that's definitely the tedious method. I knew there had to be a shortcut to the logged- in user's Startup folder, so when I recalled that it was a Shell command, I believed I ought to write an article about it.
