Application stuck in Startup Folder - Page 2

Yeah, I don't have the balls to try that linux build myself!

K, I've been diggin through my reg: \HKLM\System\Explorer\Shell Folders
There is a key called "Startup" try changing that to a different *empty* folder and see what happens.

If this doesn't help, hopefully someone with better registry knowledge can lend a hand. F-ing windows mobile has to have such a different structure than desktop versions.... I'm going to lunch before I come up with more "linux" ideas! LOL

I wouldn't even try that build on my old junk apache. Linux is the worst OS ever my IMO. I would even use OS 10 over that.

My shift is almost up, so let me know if that reg hack works or not. If not, I can dig through my registry more tomorrow when I am recharged.

Thanks for the suggestion. I may try that next time it happens. For now, a hard reset which needed to be done for a host of reasons did the trick.

Thanks all for your suggestions. I think hard reset may do the trick since I have most stuff backed up. This does teach me to be careful what I put in the Startup folder.

Yeah, the results can go from annoying to critical quick. Don't ever put TouchFlo in the startup. If you do and you need to re-align your screen, you will be in a world of hurt! I found that one out the hard way.

I put TouchFlo in there one time. I just unistalled the app then reset and deleted the shortcut. I've never even aligned my screen no need to. And does the Touch work the same way, where you can't align screen?
