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.

They're are several possible locations. Go to Mike Lin's web site
www.mlin.net and download his startup control panel, that will show you
what is starting from where and saves the pain of playing with the
registry.
