Hi all, Just wondering 'How to view inside the Start up
Folder' in WinXP Pro.Every time I go to Startup Folder
it's empty. Thanks

i think you want to view msconfig.

goto Start>>Run>>Type "msconfig" and goto the Startup Tab.

There are two areas where startup entries can be put. One
is in the currently logged in user startup area. The
other is in the 'ALLusers area'. If there are entries
appearing in your startup folder, have you looke in
the 'allusers startup' for them

C/Documents and Settings has at least three subfolders. Each has its own
Startup folder. To find, go to each and then path Start
menu>Programs>Startup. Note the he one with items you are searching for.
Mine are in All Users.
