Clarification ... I re-read my post and I don't understand it either. Everything 'runnable' in the StartUp folder executes. You want to add your little extra bit of work to what gets done. To do this, you'll need to place a file here to perform this work. My earlier post suggested you open a DOS Window, erase the files from this window, then close the window. This is easily accomplished by placing an appropriate DOS prompt icon in the StartUp folder. Make a copy of your MS-DOS prompt shortcut and put the copy of it in the StartUp folder. Holding down the Ctrl key and dragging it in Explorer seems easiest. Now that you have the MS-DOS shortcut in the proper location, you'll need to get it to do the work you require. Right click the icon, select Properties, Program tab, and type the command you want done into the Batch File box. Check the Close on Exit box. Click Apply button. When you next boot, Windows will execute the contents of the StartUp folder. This MS-DOS shortcut will execute. This shortcut will perform the contents of the Batch File box, then close. Bye4Now, Fred.
