Removing startup programs 1

[DarrenPower]

I was wondering if I can remove startup programs from running in the background and showing in the bottom right of the taskbar?

I used to be able to do this with Win98 but in 2000 it seems that they have changed the way in which you can do this.

Any ideas??

You can use msconfig from an XP pc
or you can use the utility from

There 3 possible locations of the pointers - what to run each time during startup:
1. start/programs/startup
2. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
3. win.ini

that's all!

Cheers lads, I downloaded the program from the link above (I'm lazy) and it worked perfectly.

I'll be keeping a copy of this link for the next time I encounter this problem though!

Thanks again.
