Tip Of The Day. 7-04-09
Disabling Startup Programs by Using the
SHIFT Key in XP Pro.
One way to simplify your configuration is to
disable startup programs.
I have also used this on Windows 98 and 2000.
Hold down the SHIFT key during the logon process
to prevent the operating system from running startup programs or
shortcuts in the following folders:
• systemdrive\Documents and
Settings\Username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
• systemdrive\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
• windir\Profiles\Username\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup
• windir\Profiles\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup
The windir folders exist only on computers that
are upgraded from Windows NT 4.0.
To disable the programs or shortcuts in the
preceding folders, you must hold down the SHIFT key until the desktop
icons appear. Holding down the SHIFT key is a better alternative than
temporarily deleting or moving programs and shortcuts because this
procedure affects only the current user session.
To use the SHIFT key to disable programs and
shortcuts in startup folders
1. Log off the computer.
2. In the Welcome to Windows dialog box, press
Ctrl+Alt+Del.
3. In the Log On to Windows dialog box, type your
user name and password and then click OK.
4. Immediately hold down the SHIFT key. The mouse
cursor changes shape from a plain pointer to a pointer with an
hourglass. (It might do this several times.)
5. Continue to hold down the SHIFT key until the
Windows XP Professional desktop icons appear and the mouse cursor stops
changing shape.

Technical Support is the basis of
Internet Fixes
and how we began. Starting off with a basic listing of software and
hardware support links, I have grown to a site containing some of the most
complete free listings of various technical information and support. I
currently offer support in the below fields.
Dictionary -
Computers and computer related products
are notorious for their obscure language and acronyms, which is why
having a dictionary is so helpful. My dictionary lists many of
the computer related terms that link to related terms and categories, making
it one of the best locations to locate a definition or meaning to a
computer related term. See my dictionary by
clicking here.
Downloads - The Internet and companies are always
changing; therefore, we have created a great location to locate helpful
and useful software for your computer and computer products. In addition
to downloads, users can also link to our driver listing, which has a
great listing of where to locate drivers for your computer products. See
our downloads and drivers by

latest computer news, Internet Fixes has a great new section that is
updated at least daily with the latest computer news, and contains an
archive of all the old computer news. See our main news section by

Newsletter - The computer industry never stops evolving and it
can be difficult to keep up with the changes as well as the latest news,
which is why we developed our Internet Fixes newsletter. Our newsletter

threats, what's new at Internet Fixes and an all talk section where we
