Using Microsoft Windows XP

Windows Shortcuts and Miscellaneous Tasks

Windows startup folder

All Windows XP systems include a special folder, called the Startup folder. If a

program, or a shortcut to a program, is placed in the Startup folder (either by

Windows itself, or by a third-party application, or by any user), that program

automatically runs every time Windows is restarted.

When your instrument is first configured by Agilent, shortcuts to the appropriate

application software and supporting programs are placed in the Startup folder. The

exact contents of the Startup folder depends on the options you purchased with your

instrument.

IMPORTANT You should never delete items that appear in the Startup folder, or move any item

from the Startup folder to another folder. Deleting or moving any item in the Startup

folder may cause applications not to start automatically when Windows is restarted,

or may cause certain options to be unavailable when using the instrument.

If you wish to view the contents of the Startup folder, do one of the following:

• Either click Start, All Programs, then select Startup,

or,

• Click Start, My Computer, then navigate to the folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

Additional startup items may also appear in the corresponding startup folder for the

user that is currently logged on. For example, the startup folder for the

administrator user is C:\Documents and Settings\administrator\Start

Menu\Programs\Startup.

4. Select the Auto-hide the taskbar

check box

If you are not using a mouse, press Tab

repeatedly until the auto-hide option is

selected, then press Select to toggle the

check box state.

5. Click OK. This applies the change and closes the

dialog box.
