Files the Computer runs during startup. Gennerally before you even enter desktop.
a startup folder is a folder in the system configuration utility that has programs in it that loads or runs whenever you startup your computer could p.s ... could cause slower startup if to much is in it
The only BAT (Batch) file on a startup disk is AUTOEXEC.BAT (Auto-Execute). And that's not even mandatory. The AUTOEXEC.BAT runs DOS commands after the command interpreter is loaded.

Preboot Sequence During startup, a Windows Server 2003-based computer initializes the boot portion of the hard disk and the preboot sequence begins. This sequence consists of four steps: • The computer runs power-on self test (POST) process to determine the amount of physical memory; and • The hardware components are present. • If the computer has a Plug and Play (BIOS), enumeration and configuration of hardware devices occurs. • The computer BIOS locates the boot device and loads and runs the master boot record (MBR). Note: Windows Server 2003 modifies the boot sector during installation so that Ntldr loads during system startup. Therefore you should disable the Boot Sector Virus Protection in your BIOS Setup.

Well,the basic input/output system (BIOS) on a computer is a simple yet important program on a personal computer (PC) that helps the computer properly boot and run an operating system (OS) during startup. BIOS drivers are typically used in reference to the program itself, and how the program runs and interacts with other devices on the computer. The BIOS drivers on a computer are saved on a small battery located on the motherboard and allow for the proper initialization and startup of a computer when powered on. In computing, a device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device.

A virus is a file that was programmed to harm your computer. It may be transferred to your Operating System (the environment which runs your computer) and can be hidden within program files, system files, or your account files. Viruses can severely damage your computer, so purchase a good antivirus program, such as Norton Internet Security 2011 (for windows). If you run Macintosh, you already have virus protection.
boot sector : virus runs on start up of the computer. program: virus runs when you run a specific program.
When you first turn the computer on listen for beeps. The beeps are POST (power on self test) letting you know the status of the hardware during startup. *The easiest and cheapest tool to do this would be a Motherboard Tester. The tester plugs into a PCI slot and runs a diagnostic test on the Motherboard board during POST. They can be found on auction sites like EBay for under $10 (US)
