Phil, Delete the copy of the .exe file that you placed in the startup folder. Then, locate the PTReplicator.exe file and create a shortcut for it. Now copy the shortcut, and paste it into the startup folder. This should take care of the problem HTH, Richared Justice ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Halton" <philhalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2004 3:07 PM Subject: Karen's Replicator > I'm using JFW5.884 & Windows XP home. In order to get this program to run at startup, I copied the executable into the startup directory. It comes up At bootup, but so does its settings text file and its log file(both in notepad) and I have to close out these text files each time I boot. I've gone into MSCONFIG a few times and unchecked these files, but each time they get re-installed there and pop up again. What gives? Any experience out there with this program and getting it to run at start up without all this trouble? > Phil Halton > -- > To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line. > Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfw > > If you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
