Hello everybody! Whenever I start my Zoring computer, a folder opens , and I think it is not set in the Default Startup Apps... the path is /home/(foldername)....
I don't need it to be opened all the time, how can I prevent that? Is there any information I can provide you with (please let me know)? Regards

I'm not sure if this is correct for you as I seem to remember you are running Lite not Core or Ultimate. But in Ultimate/Core, search for 'Startup Applications' in the Search Bar of the menu then once open, highlight the folder/document and select 'Remove'.

Hello, I am under Lite Version, and I have already checked Startup Applications but I don't see that folder there...could be under another name?

Hi, you will then be using xfce4 - it should be here:

"For Xfce4 Startup tool is available in Settings > Session and Startup" -

see the image here with more information - you will need to scroll well down the page:
