Where is the startup folder in WXP?
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" The other items that start when you turn on the machine are listed under the MSconfig tab. 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. You need to know what each one of these does before you uncheck the box to stop the start up. good luck peter "~ FreeSpirit ~" wrote in message ... We searched and can't find it.

Where is the startup folder in WXP?
If you are using Windows XP, and you click on the Start button in the lower
left corner of your screen, then you will see a line that says All Programs, just above the Start button. Ted Zieglar "~ FreeSpirit ~" wrote in message ... "Andrew E." wrote in message ...

Where is the startup folder in WXP? BUT where's the startup *FOLDER?*
"Ted Zieglar" wrote in message ... If you are using Windows XP, and you click on the Start button in the lower left corner of your screen, then you will see a line that says All Programs, just above the Start button. ============================== I had to change it BACK to XP, we keep it where it looks like W98 - so ok, where is the startup FOLDER? That's just a list of all programs on my PC. How do I remove programs I don't want to start up when I boot my PC, in the *startup folder* rather then use msconfig? FS~ |

Where is the startup folder in WXP? STARTUP Folder is EMPTY!
Free
You go to each program that starts up automatically, and if you don't want it to do that, you look in program options or preferences and you disable the function.. it is that easy.. MSCONFIG is for diagnostic purposes only, and should NOT be used to curtail programs starting up on a permanent basis.. Going into the registry to stop them is UNNECESSARY and DANGEROUS..
