Hey,

After Playing arond in the registrey editor it still dosent seem to be
working. The file (startup) is there. And it's working like it's
supposed to as far as running programs at startup.

Now, Im not sure what the %USERPROFILE% means. Is it talking about my
profile (Admin) and therefore should i be looking in

C:\Docments and Settings\Admin\My Documents\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup

OR....

C:\Documents And Settings\All Users\....and the rest

And just a general question, when i open my computer, are the links
under "Files Stored On This Computer" the same as C:\Documents and
Settings\*user*\ My documents.

Oh, and any more idead on what i should do, Microsoft is being
unhelpfull.

%USERPROFILE% equates to the path C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\.
Its just shorthand and the "your user name" part of the path will
automatically be set to the name of the current user.

Yes, the folders you see under "Files Stored on This Computer" are the "My
Document" folders for each user. If you are the administrator you will see
them all and if you are not you will only see yours and the "Shared
Documents" folders.
