Question about 'How do I stop a program from running whenever I start Windows?' Tuesday, March 11, 2003 at 9:02 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Karl (3 messages posted) [WinXP] Whenever I boot my computer, Windows Explorer starts up, showing a directory (okay, "folder") that I had been using some weeks ago. As far as I know, there are three places where I can see the apps loaded when winXP's starts: "Startup" in the Start menu, hk_local_machine/software/microsoft/current version...etc. and in the startup tab in msconfig. Well, Explorer doesn't appear in "startup" in the start menu. I don't have a "currentversion" heading in my registry (at least I don't see it.) and msconfig doesn't show explorer either (though it shows a lot of stuff I don't recognize.) Am I missing something? Any ideas? Your help is greatly appreciated. Karl Responses to this message: re: Question about 'How do I stop a program from running whenever I start Windows?'
