Startup

[John Barton]

Using WinXP home . Can I delete all the items in the Startup list and then
see which ones automatically activated upon a new start up? Will this cause
some programs not to open at all?

You're on the right track, and this is the correct way to do it:

Yes--it's tedious. But it works.
