XP startup issue
-----Original Message----- I have teo questions: 1-Whenever I start XP Pro, a windows explorer window opens with the path c:\windows\system32. No big deal, since I can just close the window, but I'm wondering what causes it. 2-How can I create shortcuts without XP inserting the phrase "Shortcut to..." in the name of the shortcut? Thanks for any support. Bob . Bob, 1. For the windows that comes up after restart make sure there is no shortcut installed in the "Startup" folder. Good way to verify this. Click on: Start Program Files Startup. If you see an icon there stating system32 or c:\windows\system32 delete it. You can also find it by going to: Start Run Type in "msconfig" without the quotations Startup tab (Far right when the program pops up. Uncheck the box that says "ONLY c:\windows\system32" there may be a couple here BUT the one you are looking for will have a blank name under "Startup Name". 2. Second question. Windows will not let you make a shortcut with the name provided. You have two options. Create the shortcut and right click on the new shortcut and rename it, you could just delete the Shortcut to... portion out instead of giving it a new name. Or secondly there is a tweak out there that lets you customize your GUI. Called "TweakUI" link provided. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p...oads/powertoys ..asp ~XT |
