empty startup folder

[Guest]

my startup folder is empty. Yet I want to stop MSN Messenger and Drag to Disc
from popping up at startup. How do I do this?

MSN Messenegr starts with Windows if the box is checked. Try either Options
or Preferences and look for a box "To start when Windows starts"

The startup folder is only one place for startup items.
Check in Msconfig for others.
(Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab)

For Messenger, read these:

Prevent Windows Messenger from automatically running:

Thanks for your response. It was MSN Messenger not Windows Messenger but
thanks anyway, another response gave me an answer I could use.
