I accidentally deleted my startup folder while cleaning out my Programs folder. I created a new one but it doesn't work now. I have to use the All Users startup folder to make things load at startup. Any ideas?

Provided it is exactly the same name as it was before, including any capital letters and any spaces I dont see what the problem should be.

I thought windows wouldnt allow you to delete it anyway? :confused:

Make sure its got the capital in it "Startup" and see if it makes a difference.

About all i can suggest..

It's spelled exactly the same... I just noticed that the All Users version of the Startup folder gets run twice. Maybe there's a registry setting that points to this folder as the startup folder. When deleted mine, Windows set my account to also use the All Users startup folder. Maybe.
