Start -> Run -> type "msconfig"
>From there click on the startup tab and then you can (de)select the items
you wish/don't wish to load. Alternately you can go into the Registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
And delete anything you don't want to run. You may want to export that
branchof the registry first (File -> Export)

Subject: windows annoyances
Dare I ask a windows question in a Linux forum?
I figure Linux guys often know more about
windows than windows guys.
I'll give it a try and hope I don't get
flamed :)
I'm wondering, in Windows 98 (and NT for
that matter), how do I prevent
applications from being started on boot-up
(and leaving their icon in the
system tray). They are not
in the startup folder. Do I need to go into the
registry to do that? And, if so,
where?
