Testing Bezel Glow:

Button Monitor MUST be disabled - then launch the QC program under Start menu.  

Start Folder:

All folder structures are exactly the same as Windows XP, except we hide “All Programs” and 

some useless link from Startup menu. 
 
There is a fast way to access to Startup folder, move your mouse cursor to “Start” button and click Right mouse 
button, select “Explore All Users” will bring you to Explorer and locate to the folder. 
 
There are two Startup folders that you can use: 

1.  C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start 

Menu\Programs\Startup 

2.  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start 

Menu\Programs\Startup
