Have a new ponder hoping someone can answer. Keep in mind I am very new at linux and Ubuntu 14.04. What I would like to setup is setting certain programs to load at login to my account. I have not found a startup folder or setup options for programs to load at startup. Any Ideas?

Please remember I am very new to linux and Ubuntu desktop. I am still learning my way around and the code for terminal sessions. So please be very descriptive in responses. Thank you...

As you you say you're very new to Unix alike, so I'd give you a simple hint using GUI press Superkey or go directly to Dash on Launcher and type: Startup Applications launch the appropriate icon. When it's opened looks like this:

enter image description here

click Add then Browse and choose the path in a line command to an app you'd like to startup, by default they go to /usr/bin/ for example for psensor it be /usr/bin/psensor choose and press Add you can also name it your way.
