German term

Autostart

German to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) Windows
From a software user manual - installation section. Is this the same as what Microsoft calls "Startup" in English? The reason I need to double-check is in case XXX has coined their own phrase.

Also (for extra points!), how would you translate "ziehen" in the sentences concerned?

XXX1-Autostart vorbereiten
Wenn Sie wünschen, dass XXX1 bei jedem Start des Computers automatisch gestartet wird, müssen Sie die folgenden Hinweise berücksichtigen. Wie Sie die Arbeitsschritte genau ausführen, entnehmen Sie der Windows-Dokumentation.

Windows 98, Me:
Wenn XXX1 automatisch bei jedem Systemstart gestartet werden soll, ziehen Sie das XXX 1-Symbol nach: “WindowsStartmenüProgrammeAutostart”.

Windows 2000, XP:
Wenn XXX1 automatisch bei jedem Systemstart und unabhängig vom Benutzer gestartet werden soll, ziehen Sie das XXX1- Symbol nach:
“Dokumente und EinstellungenAll UsersStartmenüProgrammeAutostart”.

Windows NT:
Wenn XXX1 automatisch bei jedem Systemstart und unabhängig vom Benutzer gestartet werden soll, ziehen Sie das XXX1-Symbol nach:
“WinntProfilesAll UsersStartmenüProgrammeAutostart”.

Start [this application] with Windows, Startup folder in the Start menu, drag [&drop]

There you go, all in one package.

Startup

From the description you give, it's definitely Startup (just played around with Trados and had to include the dot.file in the Startup folder).

ziehen is to drag (drag&drop translates as ziehen und ablegen)
