I've noticed alot of applications starting up in my system tray that I don't care for. How can I remove them from that start up. In Windows98 you could use the msconfig.exe utility but there is no msconfig.exe in win2K. Any thoughts?

Hi,
First of all check the startup folder in your profile. Next look at the following registry key and delete any entries you don't want started

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\

Hope this helps......

While MSCONFIG is missing in W2000, you can copy it from W98 and use it.

Also, you can go to Services in Administrative Tools. You can set the start-up status for any listed service to manual, disabled or auto.
