I posted in the original subject thread I still needed help, but no one
answered.

This is one answer I got:

Patrick Keenan said:
The Startup folder is a system folder and if you delete or rename it,
another will be created at next boot. You just need to put the shorcuts
back in that folder from the one you moved out of place.

I had already tried this as I explained in my original post, and this did
not work.

This is the other answer I got:


There was NO Startup folder at that location.

I asked about a week ago what I should do next, if I should create a new
"Start-up" folder, but no one replied.

So I tried creating a new "Start-up" and put the new shortcuts (to other
programs) in it, but this did not work. None of the programs started on the
next boot-up.

I've tried this in different ways, drag this folder and various shortcuts
back and forth between this folder and my Start menu -- and NOTHING WORKS.

Does anyone know HOW I can SOLVE this, please!

Startup folder is located here: C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Start
Menu\Programs\ Looks like the quote you included has a typo. C not G!
 
I thought the person writing was trying to use an generic drive letter in
the address; that is all main drivers might not be under "C".

Mine is under "C", so I used that. I found the folder missing in the
*right* location, as I said, and well, NOTHING that has been suggested or I
have tried since then has worked for me. *sigh*

Thanks for trying to help.

Don't let this frustrate you. Try this:

Click on Start and select Search. Search your C drive for Startup

For each user, there should be the following:

C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Start Menu\Programs

One should be for All Users as the UserName and one should be your name
or something like that. Do you see that?
