What's the startup program called?
You know, the one that tells your PC which programs to start when it boots?

10. If you're using WinXP it doesn't have an autoexec.bat


or a config.sys.

11. From windows 98 and higher (ME, 2000 and XP) you have a folder
Called Startup. Simply drag and drop programs into this folder and they will start up automatically when you boot. Autoexec.bat doesnt work anymore.
