Startup folder

On the START - PROGRAMS menu there is a STARTUP folder - in that folder is
another STARTUP folder - in that folder is another STARTUP folder - and so
on - this goes on 23 times until the 23rd folder shows EMPTY.

I try to delete the second folder and it tells me the file names are too
long for the recycle bin. I am pretty sure I don't need 23 of these lovely
little folders.

If you are missing a STARTUP folder - let me know - I may have it<G>

Any idea on how to delete 22 of them. I cannot rename them either.

TIA
Bill
