Title: Quick XP question Post by: thetank on November 09, 2008, 04:20:22 PM Sure I knew this at one point, but I have forgotten.
How do you get into the bitty where you decide which programs will open automatically at startup? Cheers Title: Re: Quick XP question Post by: kenjude on November 09, 2008, 04:24:10 PM If you right-click on the Start button and then select "explore" that will open Windows explorer within your profile.
You're looking for the "startup" folder within "Programs" Title: Re: Quick XP question Post by: pokerfan on November 09, 2008, 04:28:53 PM dont u type in "reg edit" somewhere?

Select the "startup" tab from the box that comes up and this will show a list of all programs started automatically at startup. Untick any of these to prevent them starting up when you switch computer on.
