    Hi! On my Win11/64 laptop, I have some programs to remove from start-up. How do I access the Start Menu and Start-up folders? Also, I sometimes want to see the desktop and minimize all open windows. IIRC, I was able to do it accidently. How do I do it on purpose?

    Desktop is WinKey+D. All installed programs will appear in the Start menu. If you don't want that just uninstall them but if you mean you don't want them to run at startup just use the Task Manager Startup tab or, for a complete answer, use Microsoft Autoruns.

    I just disabled some start-up programs. Thank you. :) BTW, I never use the Start menu anymore, but how do I open the Start Menu folder to manage what appears there?

    Thank you. Actually, I don't need the Start menu anymore. I have Quick Access Popup and FSL Launcher, and they work well. :)
