each user has his or her name listed under "documents&settings.
Under these user names are various folder one is called "start Menu"
under which you will find "programs" under which you will find "startup"
Each user therefore can have different items "startup"

## OK the STARTUP folder is EMPTY although several things START UP when I
boot, such as Zonealarm, Norton, Wordweb, PopupStopper etc. They are NOT
Listed in the "startup" folder. Where else would they be?

The other items that start when you turn on the machine are listed under
the MSconfig tab.

## I read on another MS NG to remove them from the "START UP" folder, and
not to use msconfig for that purpose. But the STARTUP folder is EMPTY!!!!

this is accesed by clicking start/run and typing in msconfig
once the system configuration utility opens you will see a "start up" tab
Under that tab you will see a whole list of things that open when the
system starts.

## Yes, I know about this - please see above.

You need to know what each one of these does before you uncheck the box to
stop the start up.
good luck

We searched and can't find it. Find just finds all kinds of things that
have "start" in them but no "Startup" folder.
