Hi everybody,

What are the FlashMan(A, C, N...) icons in the startup folder of windows?
Is it safe to remove them?

Thanks

These are the programs that save your PIM data (Contacts, Appointments, Tasks, Connections) to non-volatile RAM - IF you have that function turned on in Start -> Settings -> System -> Permanent Save.

I do not use this function, so I created a new folder \Windows\Startup Moved and moved them into there. I moved them just in case I decided to use them later, that way I could just move them back rather than having to re-create them.

If you don't use permanent save, the flashmans won't (keep) run(ning), no harm to leave them in the startup folder.
