    That's a bit odd. Which OS are you using, and which clients?

    right click on your start up folder in the start menu and click 'open' try drag and drop the shortcut into that window.

    Right click on the .exe and hold while selecting Start Menu >Programs >Startup, on release select COPY HEREand all should be fine on next reboot.

    On all my machines I just copy shortcuts to the startup folder.
    Turn off UAC if it's on.
    I also set mine to auto login in case they reboot in the night

    Used to but that was either heat, Vista's power settings, Automatic updates or dodgy hardware.
    The only time they reboot now is if we have a power problem in the server room
