there is no Ubuntu 10.1. There is 9.10 and 10.04. The number before
the decimal is the year it was released and the number after is the
month.There will be an Ubuntu 10.10 (for October of this year but not
written as 10.1 because it could be confused with January), but they have
not even begun it yet. I point this out not to nitpick but to inform you
that the numbers are significant. BTW, people not write 10.04 as 10.4
because 10.04 comes out in April and 10.4 would come out in the 40th month
if there was one. Think money.

As to your question there is no such folder. The reason has to do with
permissions. Windows is lax and Linux is strict about these things. The best
thing that you can do is to create a script that would run a series of
programmes and have it run as an executable or have the application added to
your Startup Applications (System, Preferences). If it an application in the
menu then you do can do this just by adding it to Startup Applications.
However if it is a binary or script then you need to change the permissions
to make it executable first.

When I say Windows is lax I mean that anybody can do this without your
permission and they frequently do. This causes many security and performance
issues in Windows. In Linux these things need you to go the extra mile and
nobody can do it without your knowledge. This is for your benefit and
protection.
