Hello,

Recently when I start up XP, the "Program" folder opens up everytime. Can't
seem to figure out how it happened and how to stop it.

Thanks

Nav,

Type MSINFO32 in Start/Run. Under Software Environment, select "Startup
Programs". Use the File > Export option to save the listing to a TXT file.
Post the information here.

Hi Ramesh,

Thanks for the the info. Looks like I've figured out which 'program' folder
is opening up, it's a canon photo software program. I've gotten to the part
where the export as window comes up, it's asking for a file name, which is
where i'm stumped (sorry not very computer savy). The file is listed as
OmniPage program and the command for it is d:opware32.exe, I guess exactly
what am i putting in the export as window in the file name section and where
should I put it? Hope this makes sense. Thanks a many in advance.

Nav

Nav,

>> export as window comes up, it's asking for a file name,

If you're referring to the MSINFO32's File Export window, then simply
type-in a file name (startup.txt) and save it. BTW, you can manage startup
programs using MSCONFIG utility.
