Programs in the Startup Folder
This is Windows 7 HP 64 bit. I have 4 apps in the Startup menu according to Start Programs. However I don't believe 3 of them are actually starting up. The reason I say this is I do not see any evidence of them in Task Manager and also another app that depends on one of them starting is not operating correctly until I start one of these apps manually.
According to Sysinternals Autoruns the path where the lnk files for these three startups are located is C:\Users\Bernard\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
where Bernard is the userid the system starts under. I have verified that the lnk files are actually in this directory.
Can anyone think of a reason why these apps may not be starting at boot time?
