48727	2002-05-13 20:49:00	When troubleshooting my files - I went into the Windows/ Start/ folder and in there is every program I ever installed? Guess they all load everytime I boot? - taking a lot longer to get going Can I safely delete them and just open the files as required? - some I do not use very often? Thanks, Simon	Guest (0)
48728	2002-05-13 22:22:00	Simon, The 'Windows / Start Menu/Programs folder contains the programs that appear when you use the 'Start' button followed by 'Programs' menu. The programs that are started on bootup are (shortcuts) in your 'Windows / Start Menu / Programs / Startup' Folder. If anything in there is a shortcut, and you don't want it starting on bootup - you can delete it, no problem	Guest (0)
48729	2002-05-13 23:02:00	Simon, NO! The Windows/Start folder contains all the links to programs that appear in your Start Menu. If you delete these links then you won't be able to open any programs from your start menu. The Startup folder that loads programs at startup is found in Windows/start/programs/startup You can delete things out of here, but be careful what you delete, as you may cause something not to work at all.
