In win98 I could type msconfig and remove items from starting up and running behind all programs. Win2000 does not provide this option. How can I remove programs from starting up without uninstalling them?

btrainer,

you can remove unwanted startup items through the registry.

from Start button, run "regedit"
in regisrty editor, open this tree: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

this shows all the programs set to run at startup.

I trust that if you are confident enough to use 'msconfig', you should be able to navigate this sub-directory.

Cheers,

Dan
