Where is the startup (autostart) folder in Windows 8?

Well, Windows 8 has no Start Menu any more and the startup folder has disappeared also.

Where can I find that folder? Or is there a new way with Metro?

Solution:

It can be found here:

C:Users%USERNAME%AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup

or easier to access with this command in the Run Win+R prompt:

shell:startup

Here are even more explanations of how accessing/viewing the startup folder.
