Yes, this was very helpful. It seems to be working. Here is what I did:
1. I logged on from my user (not Admin) account and opened Start-Settings-Apps-Startup
2. I turned off Dropbox. Note: This prompted me to enter my Admin password, which I did.
3. I opened Start-Program List
4. I dragged the Dropbox link to my Desktop
5. I opened c:\Users\MyUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\ where MyUSERNAME was my username (NOT my admin account)
6. I moved the Dropbox link from Desktop into the above folder
7. I logged off and then on again from my user account. Dropbox loaded automatically.
8. I logged off and my wife logged on with her user account. No pop-up!!
Thanks a lot for all your help. Hope this helps others.
