Startup icon missing???
Win98se After upgrading a program, went to "start", "programs", "startup" and deleted the program from startup(seems companies always want their programs to auto start!!!). Now my startup icon(shortcut) is missing. Not sure what I have done. Since I've never messed with this, except to empty location, I'm guessing it WAS in C:\windows\start menu\programs\startup but don't know sure and not sure where it went. suggestion to find it and "put it back" under start, programs.

There is no startup icon that I am aware of. By chance are you referring to
the startup folder on the start menu? If so, check the recycle bin to see if it is there and restore it. If not, reboot and it should be rebuilt. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "L/P" wrote in message ...
