Actually it is the same

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Note: > echo %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Nevertheless - whatever you do with it, you have much more flexibility
if you somehow try to use the environment variables[1a,1b].
For example in c:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[], char *environment_variables[])
{
	int i;		

	for(i=0; environment_variables[i] != NULL; i++)
			printf("%s\n", environment_variables[i]);

	return(0);
}

Cheers
