HI, Please help. I have an internet application starting when the pc is started up each time. I have edited the 'misconfig/startup' menu. What needs to be done in the registry?. 2. i have a win98 second edition and would like to reinstall with win:ME. How good an idea is this?. Help!.

The registry item you are looking for is hkey_local_machine/software/microsoft/windows/current version/run.
Is this due to a virus/trojan? You may need to remove it using a special removal tool if you can find the name of it. Also, are you running gator or kazaa? these programs also install spyware on your system.
As for winME....it is not a favourite of mine nor of alot of users. Either stick with 98se...an awesome OS for older systems or if you have the compatible hardware you can go to win2k or XP...of those two I prefer win2k on a personal note.
Good luck!

Try getting a registry cleaner like this one at
It is alot safer using it than to use regedit in windows.

Run it and u will need to identify the program name or the company that produces it. hit delete and it will safely remove the program.

Good Luck!
