Hi, is it possible to create two user accounts with different startups (1 with all the internet security & 1 without).When I tried to remove a program from 1 account it stopped it from loading on the other account. Thanks for your help in advance
Applications that start with Windows can be found here:
- the WIN.INI, section [windows], entries "run=" and "load="
- the Registry keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
- the folders
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\{username}\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
As you can see from the names of the locations,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\{username}\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
can be used for personalized startup options. items located at the
other places mentioned above will start in all profiles.
