I have a young user who only plays children's games online. Whenever I
switch user to her some programs open that she can't use.
Can someone please tell me the file path to the startup files so I can
delete them. I have looked a few places where search and common sense sends
me but I cannot find them in XP.
Thanks

Thanks Rick, I have tried every area mentioned in that guide and still
cannot find the calling program.
Bottom line is as soon as her preferences come up so does Yahoo IM sign in
window which I do not want up.
Used to be easy in 98 to set preferences.

Hi,

Then it's probably a run key in the registry. You should simply be able to
disable it from the startup tab of msconfig (click start/run and type it
in). Then it should not start in her account, but you can still run it in
yours.

That got rid of it. Don't know why it shouldn't affect my account as well
but don't care as I do not like IM of any form.
Thanks
