 =====Copy the program and Create Shortcut=====
+You can simply copy the **VPOP3STATUS.EXE** file from the VPOP3 directory on the server to a directory of your choice on the new PC, and run it from there.
+If you wish, you can create a shortcut to the VPOP3STATUS.EXE file in the 'Startup' programs group to have it automatically start when the user logs in.
+On current versions of Windows you should change the shortcut to 'vpop3status.exe /q /r'. The /r tells the status monitor to store its settings in the registry for the current user. Without this option, it will try to store its settings in a VPOP3.INI file in the c:\windows folder. Current versions of Windows do not allow this unless the status monitor is running in admin mode (which is not recommended).
+{{:how_to:vpop3monitorlink.png|}}
+In Windows 8, you can find the Startup group at either:
+  - c:\Users\<username>\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp (for the current user) , or
+  - c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp (for all users)
