Very strange behavior. On one of my machines the startup programs run twice
(or not at all). I have 4 programs in my Startup menu, Microsoft Office,
Office Startup, and two other applications. (All behave the same as
described below.) Since the two applications display activity or results I
was able to notice that they are running twice. If I use MSCONFIG and look
at the Startup list, all the startup applications are listed twice. Once
with the Location Statup, once with the Location Common Startup. It gets
even stranger.
If I disable only the ones listed as Common Startup in MSCONFIG, none run!
They even disappear from the Startup menu itself. The ones listed as Common
Startup completely disappear from the MSCONFIG Startup list after the
re-boot. If I re-enable them, the Startup menu list is also "automatically"
re-enabled.
If I disable the ones listed as Statup, the Statup menu remains intact, but
when I re-boot, they again run twice and the MSCONFIG Startup list contains
both sets again.
What can I do to get only one set to run, and for the duplicate entries in
the MSCONFIG startup list to go away and stay away? I guess running twice is
not as bad as not running at all, but once would be sufficient, and preferred.
Thanks.
