[Discussion] Unexpected apps running after reboot

[Harry Travis]

1, Deserving to be top-posted is a large thank-you, Steven. (And thanks
to the SCOUG member whose laptop gave you the opp to have handy
responses to non-professionals' bungles.) The difference is stunning,
besides solving the phantom startups I first asked about. (Now,about
those XP phantoms in every profile of my kids' machines......<g>)

2. Besides the nuisance applications opening on startup, which would
only have been a minor inconvenience with this box. the WPS is
responsive. More important is that it isn't crashing daily. I'd so grown
accustomed to unrecoverable freezes with FF or Seamonkey open, that I
suspected the browser or unreliability of old  (700mhz) PIII hardware,
which I insist is more than adequate for eCS and E or X Workplace on
performance grounds. And I impatiently switch window focus between apps,
browser, and mailreaders. 

3. The XWorkplace application built on Henk Kelder's checkini called
?????? is rarely suggested as a substitute. Did it not get debugged or
otherwise not offer advantages its developer(s) must have tried to
incorporate?

4.Below. I didn't understand your response to my question about
responding to checkini queries. Must the user hilight the desired
onscreen response and hit return, or is a "y" or "n" a substitute? I'm
asking because a dirty ini can result in hundreds of queries.

No.  The yes and no checkini displays are responses to the delete
prompt.  They have nothing to do with the key value which always seems
to be Y.  It's possible that the WPS will honor a N to disable the
startup folder, but who knows.  It's not documented anywhere I know of.

So how close are you to having all your problems resolved?


Regards,

Steven
