Are you referring to actual software or drivers etc ?

 

[avivit]

Yes I mean software (the startup programs that are<br>in the path: start-&gt;programs-&gt;startup<br>I'm using win98

check out<br>Start-&gt;Run type in msconfig then hit enter<br>go downto the last tab, and thats all the startup stuff(Even the stuff not located in the Startup folder), also when you boot up, I think you can prevent just the startup folder from going by holding shift during bootup, but use msconfig to uncheck something so it doesnt startup any time you boot up until you turn it back on. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

There are two ways two main ways to permanently remove programs from starting. 1. Delete what is in startup folder. 2. Edit the registry (the clean way) 3. Or, do as kb244 has suggested and go through msconfig. <br><br>If you would like more intructions on how to edit the registry just ask and I will give you detailed intructions.
