Removing a Startup feature?

[Larry]

I accidently added a folder to the Startup folder. Now it
opens Windows Explorer with this folder on each startup.
I cannot find where it is now loading from to remove it?
By the way, it loads on ALL users logon...

Hi Larry,

Check your all users start up folder.
Check Start/Run/Msconfig/Startup and here:

Go to Start/Run/Regedit:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run

Look here for the program/folder in question. If listed, double click the
entry and put the full path name in quotes. And Verify that all the values
in these keys do not contain any incorrect, incomplete, or null entries
(such as "").

Right click the Start button, select Explore All Users and then go to
Programs, Startup and remove the folder, or folder shortcut from there.
