Could somebody tell me how to tarck a program that starts
as I start windows with a window like, C:\Documents and
Settings\ldugan\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. I looked for
a shortcut in the folder \Documents and
settings\User\Start Menu\Programs\Startup but couldn't
find any. If it's in the registry, where is it supposed to
be?

Thank you and I appreciated any help.

Click to expand...

Applications that start with Windows can be found here:
- the WIN.INI, section [windows], entries "run=" and "load="
- the Registry keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
- the folders
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\{username}\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
