    [FONT= "Comic Sans MS"][SIZE= "2"]Sorry to post a dumb question - but I'm stumped and can't find the answer elsewhere in this forum. A long time ago, I placed several application shortcuts in a folder somewhere on my computer so the apps launch at start-up (Outlook, Acrobat, etc). I even remember checking "Run Minimized" so they would stay in the task bar I no longer want this to happen - but I can't recall what I did or find the folder. Can someone point me back to where I was before those brain cells died? Running XP Pro. Thanks[/SIZE][/FONT]

    [FONT= "Comic Sans MS"]Thanks Whiskeyman - yes - that got me there. For me, it's not in All Users, but in my own profile - but I guess if it were in All Users in would apply to any log-on. So I learned two things. Anyway no more waiting for Acrobat and everything else to load on reboot! Thanks[/FONT]
