Quick Q , everytime i start windows up ... 2 things happen.

Kazaa folder opens up (kazaa now uninstalled but still opens)

Windows is unable to find a file in the system folder and brings up an alert. Thing is this file was a virus i think and so it was duly deleted as it wasnt actually needed by windows.

Is there a file somewhere that i can edit to stop windows trying to load these folders/progs/files ?

thanks for help.

Start, Run, MSconfig, Startup Tab.

see this thread. Burr posted a link to a program that allows you to control Windows start up. Very useful it is to.

I personally would use msconfig (as Dunk said)as that is Microsoft's prefered method.

Start|Run|msconfig
