Start up changes

[xnman]

I have a bunch of programs that automatically start up and put an icon
on the system tray. How do I find where this list is and delete some of
them from starting up when I start my machine?

Thanks in advance

Applications that start with Windows can be found here:
- the WIN.INI, section [windows], entries "run=" and "load="
- the Registry keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices
- the folders
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\{username}\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP

XP" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310560).

Check the programs themselves to see if there's an option to stop loading at
Startup. If not type "msconfig" in the Run box and go to the Startup tab.
Uncheck any you don't want loading.
