Whenever I start my Windows XP system a couple Notepad windows/files
pop up which I do not want. How do I get rid of them? Thx, Gus

Run msconfig.exe, then see what's under the Startup tab.

Run msconfig.exe, then see what's under the Startup tab.

I did that and I can't spot anything that looks liike the problem.
(Notepad is not set to start automatically.)

Is it possible Windows is set somehow to go back to a saved desktop
config?

- Does the problem persist when you boot into Safe Mode?
- Can you create a screen snapshot and upload it to www.skydrive.com?

Jack,

What was your point in posting that you have the same problem ? So Gus
would have the "warm and fuzzies" that he wasn't alone ? Couldn't you just
keep checking this thread for additional responses without posting anything
superfluous? Did you expect that since *you* checked in, now all of a
sudden the solutions would come pouring in ?
