Hi all,

I have just installed some softwares in my Windows 2k Advance Server computer, and these softwares always load on the startup process. Now I would like to remove this softwares from the startup process, but I don't know how to do that. ( For example, with Windows 95/98, I use command "msconfig", then go to "system configuration Utility" windows, and after that, I go to "startup sheet" I and remove softwares I needn't them to load on startup process. ) Please tell me how to do the similar task with Windows 2k advance server.

Thanks for your help.

go to Windows Explore\Program Files\Windows\Start Menu, remove the icons you don't want to startup automatically.
 
Hi,
you can use the registry editor.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce
