I've had the Tea Timer or Resident starting with the system for some time now, but a few days ago it failed to start when I initialized my computing system. I noticed there was no Tea Timer or Resident listed at startup in "msconfig," nor was there a relevant logo in the Startup folder.

Inside Spybot Search and Destroy, I discovered the box next to "Tea Timer" was not ticked; but I had not unticked that box! So I ticked the box, again, yet at the next system start-up no Tea Timer logo appeared: That box inside Spybot Search and Destroy had mysteriously become unticked once more.

So I decided to put a shortcut to the Tea Timer in Startup under Programs, but try as I might I could not find any file labeled either "Tea Timer" or "Resident." Where is the Tea Timer hiding?

:sad:

In Spybot 1.5.2 some of Spybot's executables are hidden as protected operating system files. To see them:
Using Windows Explorer navigate to:
C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
In the Tools menu select Folder Options…
In the Folder Options dialog select the View tab.
Under the "Hidden files and folders" options:
Make sure "Show hidden files and folders" is selected.
Not "Do not show hidden files and folders".
Uncheck the following option:
Hide protected operating system file (Recommended)
Click the Apply button.
Click the OK button.
The files should now be displayed
Note: If you uncheck the "Hide protected operating system file (Recommended)" option to view Spybot's executables, I suggest that you return the option to its original setting when you are done.

Thank you, md usa spybot fan, for your timely help! A shortcut to the Tea Timer is now happily inhabiting my Start > Programs > Startup folder. Thanks again!
