- Another solution, edit your config.sys and get rid of the following:
-
- SET AUTOSTART=PROGRAMS,TASKLIST,FOLDERS
- ^^^^^^^^^
- so that it looks like the following:
-
- SET AUTOSTART=TASKLIST,FOLDERS
-
- I've found this to be my best solution as I don't really want the OS to
- automatically start up everything that was running when it crashed - I
- just want it to start up, I can do the rest. BEsides, it's a bit of a
- security hole if it starts up with everything going that was going when
- it crashed. Another thing, in my usua situation, the most recent thing
- I've worked on is what crashed the system in the first place.
