Windows 8.0 starts up just fine here
Recently read something about adding an Explorer shortcut to some
folder. Now, I'm finally getting around to startup programs instead of having to click on their program buttons in the taskbar at every startup. That deeply buried startup folder is accessed via "shell:startup" in Windows Explorer... C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\ Start Menu\Programs\Startup I put a few program shortcuts in there, including one to Windows Explorer drive D (my data drive). Windows 8 started up just fine, maybe a little slow, but it moves past the start screen and opens startup programs, just like Windows XP. Don't know if adding the Windows Explorer shortcut is necessary, but doesn't matter here since I always have it open. I suppose that has been mentioned before, but I don't recall seeing specific instruction. |
