Prevent programs from starting on other user's desktop

I recently purchased a Blackberry Cell phone and loaded the DeskTop Manager
program that enables me to sync it to my Outlook data. When other users on my
computer log on, the Desk Top Manager loads at start up. It takes several
munutes to load and is an annoyance to them. I have administrator
priveledges. How can I prevent the program from starting when the other users
log on?

Go to your Start menu and check the contents of the Startup folder. Is there a
shortcut for the DeskTop Manager there? If so, do the following.

On your Start menu, right click on Startup and select Open All Users from the
menu.
Right click again except this time select Open.

You should now have two folders open. Move the shortcut from the C:\Documents
and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder into the Startup
folder for your account.

Good luck

This solved my problem. Thank you very much!
 
Sorry, Kelly, but I am unable to discuss any topic that's even remotely
connected with a certain football team from NYC :)

Seriously, if he keeps his mouth shut he'll help take some of the pressure off
of Colston and Bush. The best case scenario for Saints fans would be if he plays
this season with the same "I'll show them" attitude that Randy Moss displayed
last year for the Patriots.

The biggest question with the Saints is going to be their defense. Your team has
a fairly easy schedule and plays in a relatively weak division. They should
rebound from last year's disappointing results and get back to the playoffs.
