The startup folder is nothing else than a special place on your hard drive where anything that is placed runs at the computer startup. To go into that folder, right click on the Start button and click on Open. Double click on Programs and then double click on Startup. Anything you place on that folder will initiate once your computer boots up.
There is another way: Go to My Computer, double click on Local Disk (C:). Then look for a folder called Documents and Settings and for your name or the name of the user that you use on your computer and double click on it to open it. Then go to Start Menu, Programs, Startup. That would be your Startup folder.
Be aware that if you want a certain program to startup, the program has to be installed on your laptop, meaning if you want Outlook, for example, to startup, it has to be installed on your laptop for it to run at startup. Even if there is an icon on your Desktop and you just copy it to your laptop, the program will not start unless it is installed on the laptop too.

Niko Kelly is correct but you must know what you are doing and why. You just don't want to screw up things.
