| |  Computer command help
There's a way to organize which programs automatically come up on starting the computer. Does anyone remember what this command is? I think it's in the Run box but I can't remember the specific command. I'm running Windows 98, if that makes a difference...
Thanks

Thanks | There is two different deciding factors, one is the startup menu which loads programs during startup and can be manually altered easily, there are two ways to access it. 1) Start --> Setting --> Taskbar and Menu. Click on the start menus tab, then just add the program you want to start and browse to it's directory and then double click the program file. 2) just drag and drop the program shortcut into the startup folder in the start menu
Bear in mind this will slow down system speed greatly
If you wish to delete them then i will give you run down on that

| | @Der-d, if you hit start/programmes/accessories/system tools/system information, you will see a tab labelled Start Up. Here you can select what programmes load when you start up your pc

I think the command your looking for is msconfig, type it into the run command.
Excuse my previous rambling

| | | In Windows98, it is msconfig
Then click on the Startup tab.
Ramble on, Mr Sleep, ramble on!

There is a system information where you can view the files that load, but you can't alter them there, only in msconfig and regedit

Ah! Ok. But that is silly! In WinME you just check the boxes of the items you want to load up then there is a button to click that deletes the orphan registry files...

| | Yes it is silly, but you have to use msconfig in Win98 Better than Win95 which didn't have any system for it at all
