Boris Posted July 20, 2003 Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 Does ME have the equivalent of Win98's StartUp folder under Start Menu programs ?I've got a couple of Windows apps that I want to start automatically when ME boots, but even though I've manually created the folder and put the short cuts there - nothing happens !

Snec Posted July 20, 2003 Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 Boris, the Start Menu folder is in C:\Windows. You will find it by doing Search if you can't go straight to it otherwise.S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted July 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 I've sorted it out myself in the end - thanks for help.For some unexplained reason ? my StartUp was a hidden/system folder, so I was trying to use a duplicate one - which presumably was why it didn't work !I have also found out that autoexec.bat is ignored by ME - which explains why the AVG "Check Boot Virus" wasn't appearing each reboot.mark2 - "I never let anything start automatically except AV and firewall" - these were only a little diary/reminder prog called Ample Notice - I just can't remember anything these days :blink: until I see what today's reminders are - + Quicken Bill Minder so I don't go too overdrawn (again) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
