Skeeter i went to ...start up/programs and have 11 shortcuts including word, excel, access, etc. are these taking up memory upon start up? tia... First, did you delete the program shortcuts by going to start button/programs? If so, restore them from the recycle bin. If you don't restore them you will have to manually start each program (that would be a pain in the b**t) from within it's folder or make new shortcuts and add them to your start/programs menu. There may not be a startup folder within the start/programs menu in win95. I don't know. Yes, having all those programs load at startup is, in my opinion, useless. From what I understand, all this does is make them load a few milliseconds faster when you call on them. They are draining your resources when you don't need them running. Right-click the icons in the systray and usually there is an options or properties link that may enable you to remove the program from loading at startup or being displayed. I would follow mr.marks suggestion about startup manager #reply-14872414 and he is much more familiar with 95 than me. tc
