Re: Adding to All Proigrams

Elmo,
Thanks for your effort, time regarding this post.
I didn't think I would get any more replies to this post believing time had
exhausted it.
Had the same belief of my other post that it would be ignored due to lack of
interest.
To that effect I did a system restore to an earlier time and it solved my
problem regarding the malfunction of the program.
Will leave the location of the program in C:\ and not try to put it in Start
menu or all programs.
Thanks again to you and Mark for your time, effort and expertise.

Strange occurrence now.
After booting or re-booting and after desktop appears the program in
question, its folder appears without input from me. Shortcut or the data
folder will not open the program but I can run the program from the
shortcut in all programs or the shortcut in Start. Couldn't even run the
program from the C:\Program. Re-installed the program, now boots fine
from either location but its folder still appears after computer reboots
or cold boots. Any comments appreciated. Thanks.

There was a failed attempt by the program of creating a run command to
start it upon Windows startup. You can run MSCONFIG and under the Startup
tab, look for any reference to the program. You'll probably find that the
command line doesn't place the command line in quotes, or it's just a
damaged command line. Disable that line in MSCONFIG and restart to see if
that cures the problem. If so, start MSCONFIG again, see where the
program is started and remove the command correctly using REGEDIT, or
another area of MSCONFIG, if it isn't in the registry.
