| When you turn on your computer you get a
number of icons on the screen, The Desktop. There are a number of
programs you can start from the Start button, and there are a number
of programs that run automatically on startup. To give you
a bit more certainty about changing how those things happen I list the
location of those icons and programs.
Desktop [the items on the screen]
These programs are found in Desktop which
lies way above c: drive or the a: drive
Start menu and sub-menus
These programs are found in c:\windows\StartMenu\Programs
There are some quirks, as StartUp appears
in directory but does not appear on the Start button when you push it.
In addition to the items at c:\windows\StartMenu\Programs
some standard items also appear at the bottom of the list when you push
the Start button.
The programs that start when the machine
is switched on are found in:
c:\windows\StartMenu\Programs\StartUp
