Re: How to get my Outlook Explorer to stop Auto Loading...

I have been using Outlook Explorer on XP Professional. A long time ago, I
set up a shortcut in some directory to get this program to load upon starting
up my system. Now I would like to take it out of the auto load mode, but I
forgot how to do it. I still want to use the program, but I want to choose
it manually after my system has been turned on and is ready. I am sure that
I must have some other auto loaded programs slowing up the performance of my
system, but I can't remember where to look for these shortcuts. I don't
think it is in my startup folder. I get the two functions confused. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You mean outlook express right? Look in the startup folders:

\Documents and Settings\<username.\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Delete the shortcut to it.
