Hi,

Move it from the All Users startup folder to the local user folder.

From:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

To:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

I hsve a similar problem Rick which I raised in another thread but
haven't sorted yet.

How do you get stuff to install in the first place for that user only
and not for everyone? It was possible in the W98 settings.

TIA

Hi Robin,

Same problem - it depends on the software and how it was written, there is
little you can do to control it. You can only customize it after-the-fact.
If it installs for all, you have to move it to the one. If it installs for
one, then you have to reinstall it under each.
