Hey, could someone tell me how to take some programs off the startup? I have quite a few programs that load when windows starts up on the bottom right of my screen. Ive been looking through all sorts of things to take some of them off but i am unable to see anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks

    Hello,

    If your running Windows 98/XP follow this.

    Click START, RUN

    Type msconfig, click on the START tab, Expand the 'command section' to see the full program path.

    Uncheck the boxes for the programs you don't want to start.

    Click APPLY, then OK.

    Restart when prompted. A dialog will popup at next start up, tick the little box not to show again and you should see it work!

    Regards
