Excel and Word Opens a New Doc on Startup

I want to stop these programs from running on start up I went to the startup folder and they are not there.

Order of events.
1 Reboot
2 Log in
3 Excel 7.0a opens a new worksheet
4 Word 97 opens new document

Winword.exe and excel.exe is not in the startup folder.


Help Please.

 

look in msconfig to see if they start at start up, the 'startup' folder may have very little that starts up

go to:
start
run
msconfig
startup
look at all those programs that start at startup, uncheck word and excel references
reboot

 

Does not have MSCONFIG.

 

Mandrake - when I needed msconfig (or similar) for WinNT 4.0, Mulder pointed me here:

Go to the Freeware link on the left and locate and download "Startup Manager".

Worked for me!

aha, so sorry
didn't know it was W95

see if one of the 3rd party softwares can help as Gram suggests

 

Or just take a look in Regedit:

You need to check the following keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion/Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Click on the Run and RunServices subkeys in succession, and take a look in the right pane. See whether there's anything there that could explain this.

Good luck,

 

That worked.



Thank you very much!
