where is the windows xp startup file
There are several places to look in Windows XP for programs that start automatically: 1  Locations on the hard drive. (note that these change for Windows 7/Vista) %AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Startup. 2  Locations in the registry. To edit the registry, press + , type regedit, and hit enter. 3  Scheduled Tasks (can be scheduled to run at logon).
