"Startup Folder" in W7 ?

[Bob]

Hello,

In XP, there was a Startup Folder which one put shortcuts to programs
that they would like to start, automatically, when the PC is first
turned on.

Is there something similar in W7 ?

Thanks,
Bob

You Googled that and used the first link you saw for your information.
Someone asks about Windows startup programs, you hit a search engine, and
type whatever you see in the results.

I suspect that's what you do every time you post to Usenet.

Look around in Win7 for "c:\windows\start menu" and see where it gets you.

Just curious --- how come when I open msconfig, i see programs listed on the
startup tab, but when I follow your method, startup is listed as "empty"?

People tend to rely too much on msconfig and the startup folder. That's
not all there is.

The HKLM \CurrentVersion\Run area of the registry is one known hangout
for rougue applications. ;-)

To answer your question directly - it's because the startup directory and
the startup tab under msconfig do not reflect all the programs that start
up when the computer boots.

Chuckspeak: *sigh* The apps under *startup* are not all that matters for
such. A simple google search or of you're prefered search engine
*reveals* this perhaps (if you would use such for once or don't you?).

Please don't mistake my response as a defense of chuckcar's advice, but
Windows 98 SE uses C:\Windows\Start Menu\.. I would guess that 95
through ME use that same hierarchy.

Anyone who can come up with the previous paragraph should be
worried. You've been paying too much attention to this froup
lately.

I'll go with hypothesis B. It would seem to run along the same lines as
the infinite number of monkeys statistical theory.

Couldn't find Bob Newhart doing that sketch, so this'll have to do:
