| 263798 | 2004-08-21 00:03:00 | Hi, How do I stop "Notepad" booting on startup. It's most annoying. Tried changing notepad.exe to notepad.sav but it just reinstalled itself on the next startup. Have used startup manager to check for a notepad entry but there is none!! Help... Colin |

| 263801 | 2004-08-21 00:32:00 | Notepad is part of the OS, Why do you want to get rid of it? Vince | Vince (406) | ||
| 263802 | 2004-08-21 02:26:00 | Thanks for your response Vince, I don't want to get rid of notepad, I just don't want it on my desktop at start up! Only when I want to use it... Colin |

| 263803 | 2004-08-21 02:52:00 | If you are using XP have a look in the startup folder in statr > All Programs > Startup and if is there delete it. | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 263804 | 2004-08-21 02:57:00 | Thanks Johnboy...This may be the answer! | colin_s (3529) | ||
| 263805 | 2004-08-21 03:10:00 | No error messages, just notepad loading at startup. Nothing in the start up menu, and using System Mechanic, nothing in the registry or anywhere else obvious..Still need help...Colin | colin_s (3529) | ||
| 263806 | 2004-08-21 04:04:00 | Have you run Msconfig yet? If not then start > run. Type in msconfig and see what is running on the startup tab. Also check win.ini and system.ini for run command entries. | Elephant (599) | ||
| 263807 | 2004-08-21 10:57:00 | Hi Elephant, Will try the msconfig routine shortly and let you know how I get on...thanks for your help so far Colin |
