    Red face C:\Set Delphi path [RESOLVED]

    A while ago i ran a demo cover disc of Delphi. And ever since, when i boot my pc up it says something like:

    C:\Set Delphi\bin\projects\my projects\files

    or something like that. Anyway does anybody know how to remove it, could it load my pc up slightly faster?

    Your PC is outdated and I doubt removing something small will increase any speed (WIndows98 isn't a very fast booter anyway).

    I could help you, but I got no clue what the problem is. You installed something, then removed it and your PC says "C:\Set Delphi\bin\projects\my projects\files" ?

    I still don't get it, you said when it starts up it says "C:\Set Delphi\bin\projects\my projects\files". Your computer speaks to you? A message box comes up? Files are still in that path? It's listed in msconfig? It's listed in the startup part of the registry? It is listed in the installed programs? It is listed in the add/remove program dialog box?

    I could go on and on, I need moar info!

    well you know if you install some programs and restart, a black screen comes up saying something like "Updating configuration files...done....continuing to load windows" it comes up on a black screen like that.

    Would be easier if i could screen dump DOS

    No I don't know about that, I've never had Windows do that, not even when I used Windows98 se or Windows95. Hell I don't even remember that in 3.1.

    Can't you just go into Windows and uninstall it so it'll not do it anymore?
