Windows 10: Open a file at log on cannot update because I have forgotten how I set it up

Hi,

This is going to sound stupid.

I have a text file open in notepad when I log into my account. Not at startup but at log in.

It is only a text file and now I want to move it to another location. Trouble is I've forgotten how I did it. It is NOT a

shortcut in the startup folder and it is definitely at log in because it does not start when I log into my administrator account.

If it is a scheduled task then it must be buried in the normal windows areas because I have not created a separate folder in task scheduler. There is no way to search by author in task scheduler and I have no clue what the task would be called.


So can anyone suggest a way to find out what method I used please? I know I found it by an internet search last time but I cannot find anything now.


Or is there a way to go through the boot process a step at a time then stop at each step so I can see what it is doing?


Is there a third way I might have used?


Thanks in advance.

:)

 

Saves log files ?

You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

Download CCcleaner from here...........

CCleaner Professional | Try the world’s most trusted PC cleaner, free!

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.

 

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
