Achilles Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 It's pretty simple when ever I turn on the computer it brings up a folder... It's not in the startup directory so I don't know what to do. Any one have any ideas? My Programs[list][*]Knight Media Player[*]Multiple Desktops[*]Daily Comics[*]Journal[/list]

jb73034 Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Check the registry maybe its in the run key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Richard Robertson Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) If you don't know how to use the registry, DO NOT OPEN REGEDIT. I know the damage offhand that can be caused by incorrect registry edits. Edit: if you have a tech friend who can help you in person, that would be better. Edited October 31, 2006 by Icekirby1
gamerman2360 Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 What can happen? @Piano Man Look at the Reg functions. Don't edit anything until you know what it is.
