Items in Startup folder NOT starting

  • Thread starter Thread starter Guest

What happens if you logon as a new user? (create a new account in 'User
Accounts'). Which startup folder?

Start|Run|msinfo32.exe System Summary\Software Environment\Startup Programs

Do you see it listed? If so what is in the location column?

In addition to Dave's response... See Startup Control Panel from Mike Lin:

http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml

That has the ability to add items to the startup fairly easily. (right click
new > follow prompts)

I prefer to be anonymous on the web. Just a bit of beginners caution.
YES thank you the solution DID work!
I have also installed PC-Cillin and it adds one minute to boot time. Oh
well.

Maybe not? Maybe it'll be here for eternity! ;-) After all - no one snipped
out his original. Thus his post will linger on for a long time to come.
