startup folder contents do not load

[Hadley]

I have four small executables in my
administrator/programs/startup folder. But when I log as
administrator, those files don't load. I can manually
start them, but I want them to load automatically at
startup.

I probably caused this yesterday when I removed extra
Windows components in an effort to free up disk space on
this tiny 6GB drive I've got. But I've since reinstalled
that stuff, and the startup stuff still won't load.

I'll greatly appreciate any suggestions...

- How do you know that they do not load?
- Have you tried placing a little batch file there,
e.g. of the form
echo on
echo This is my test batch file
pause
"c:\documents and settings\administrator\start
menu\programs\startup\MyExe.exe"
echo This was my executable
pause
- Did you notice that the path you give lacks one level ("start menu"),
and that it uses forward slashes instead of backslashes?
