Start-Up Programs Question

Hello,

Regarding the Start-Up menu, the list of programs and items that start when the PC is turned on:

a. If there are two Users, is the list different depending upon which User logs on ?

b. IF there is a separate list for each user, and then the two Users just
do "Switch Users" during the day, do these start up items then change, or once going, they continue irrespective of the User ?

e.g., each user would be operating on "his side" of the PC as expected, but the start up programs for the other user would (also) be active. True ?

Thanks,
Bob

Programs can also be started from the registry. A good way to see startup settings is to use StartupCPL.

Yes, but there are more startup items than are listed in msconfig.

Hi all,

Just a quick thanks for the info.

Sure is a lot to learn, but we are trying.

Appreciate All the help,
Bob

Hello,

Trying to find, and adjust somewhat, my Startup Programs Folders.

For the two users on the PC, no problems.
As mentioned by Dwarf, they are under C:\Users\Username\App...

But for the ALL Users Folder, not sure:

For this "common startups" Folder, if I try to find All Users under:
C:\Users\All Users...

Under Users\, I have no "All Users" apparently.

What's there is:
Bob (one of the two users)
Steve (the other user)
Public
Default

Where, please is "All Users" ?
Is it termed "Public" in W7, or...?

Sure I'm just looking in the wrong place.

Thanks,
Bob

Hi,

Sort of.

I can find the start-ups for the individual users, Bob and Steve, but what I can't locate is the list for the startups that start for both users automatically, irrespective of which user logs in.

I was told that they are in a flolder called ALL USERS, but can't locate it.

Thanks,
Bob
