Startup Programs
It seems as though I saw a post here somewhere, about a Windows update pertaining to startup items that don't start, but I couldn't find it when I needed it, so I used StartupCPL to move the programs that were in the Start Menu's Startup folder to HKLM instead. For the most part, this solved the problem, except in 3 instances.
First, Process Explorer no longer opens minimized, but in a normal window, which then has to be minimized to the system tray. Irfanview keeps opening, even though it is not listed among any of the startup programs (displays the icon for UltraMon). and last, SpeedFan starts, but then never appears in the system tray, even though it is set to. I have to shut it down with the Task Manager, and then restart it. Even though it then appears in the system tray, it disappears a bit later. This last problem might be fixed by reinstalling the program, but I haven't had time to try that yet. But, what about the first two items...any solutions?
EDIT: I forgot to mention that UltraMon is set to run from HKLM, but it doesn't.
