Could one of you fine people recommend a utility for cleaning up the startup list of unchecked items in W98.

(x-setup has some options)

I take it msconfig is not good enough

Nope, but I point you to the registry key where you can remove them.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WIndows\CurrentVersion\Run

Delete those you wish to purge...you may have to look in RunOnce, etc. as well, but not likely...

Carrr is correct, almost.
The unchecked items are moved to the "Run-" section.
If you are sure you will not use these again, then go ahead and delete the various entries under that heading.

Oh...you dog, you...
...he busts my chops and rightly so. By leaving off the frigging -, I sent you to the wrong folder. Good catch, Jontmke

I use StartupCpl and Startup Monitor from

http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml

as mentioned previously....thay work great and are small precise programs with real options.
