OK - but very few apps appear in the Startup folder compared with the many
that fire up in the background. MSConfig is the better option.
I'm getting there.

The 'Special' account should have access to all the programs that are
already installed on your machine, although I found that I had to
re-install Pilot Club (temporarily changing account back to administrator).
What you can control, however, is which programs start up when you
access this account, by removing them from the start-up folder, or using
MSConfig etc.
You can also alter which Icons appear on the desktop etc.
These settings will not effect your Main account.
