Hello again (using Windows 98), I know that in evey start menu, programs section, there is a folder called StartUp which even if empty, cannot be deleted. No problem with that. But here *is* a problem: Sometime ago I must have moved another StartUp folder (I'm not sure from where) and am holding it in a desktop folder I call "Hold" (a place where I keep files/folders that I might delete if I find them not necessary.
This StartUp folder, like the one in my Start menu, is empty. My question is, why can't I delete it. When going to delete it, a message comes up saying: "StartUp is a Windows system folder and is required for Windows to run properly. It cannot be deleted." But (1) this is *not* the StartUp folder in the Start menu, and (2) even if I change the name of the folder, which I can do, upon deleting it, it again says (naming the new folder) "is a Windows system folder etc etc." In other words, whatever I call it, this empty folder is considered a Windows system folder. What's really going on, and how (even using the registry) can I get rid of this blot in my life? ... Harold B. ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
