| | Different startup programs for different users? I was wondering, can I set certain programs to autostart for certain users but not for others? My wife gets annoyed when all my game/display/pda stuff autostarts when she logs on with her user name. Thanks, Eric |

First, remove or disable the program from the startup program list to stop it from running on all users accounts at startup. Option Two in this tutorial will show you how to if needed. Startup Programs - Enable or Disable Next, just place a shortcut of the program you want to startup in the user account's Start menu "Startup" folder at: "C:\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" Shawn |
