We'll first remove any programs from the Startup
Folder. To do this,1) Right Click the Start button and select
Explore.
2) The explore window will appear with the Start Menu already
selected.
3) Expand the Programs Folder then Locate and Expand the
Startup Folder.
4) If there are items in this folder you'll want to move them
so they do not startup automatically - this will help us
troubleshoot. Create another new folder either on your desktop or
in the c drive - call it something you'll remember. In this case
we'll call it StartupBak. Select all the icons in the Startup
Folder and either drag & drop them into StartupBak or on the edit
menu select > Select All > Cut. Open the StartupBak folder and on
the edit menu press Paste.
5) Next we're going to scroll up in the left pane with the list
of folders to All Users. Expand this folder. Click on Start Menu
so it expands. Scroll down to the Startup folder and if there are
any icons in it create ANOTHER folder on either your Desktop or C
drive. Let's call this one AllStartupBak. Drag & Drop or use the
Edit menu to move the files from Startup to AllStartupBak.
6) Now that all the programs have been removed from the startup
folders, restart into normal mode and once again test for errors.
