run on startup - snap in Group Policy

[Bliz]

Hi. There are several programs that run on startup on my XP home system
that I don't want to. I went into control panel, to classic view, taskbar
and start menu, start menu tab, classic start menu >> customize, advanced,
then click on programs folder, and startup to view programs in startup
folder. There is nothing in this folder.

I searched help and support and found directions for START> run, mmc, file>
add/remove snap-in, Add, Group Policy......... I got to the add standalone
snap in window but the group policy snap-in is not listed as available. I
am at a loss. What can I do to get real access to configure the programs
launched at startup, and secondly, is something wrong with my XP install? or
why is this group policy snap-in not available??

Many thanks in advance.

Because you bought Home. Configure your programs in your programs. =
MSConfig is a troubleshooting tool not a startup manager. Programs =
decide what they do not Windows. A lot of programs will just self =
repair.

interesting. funny that this is how XP Home help and support said I should
make these changes. Oh well. I changed within programs all that I could.
I will just uninstall the other programs. Don't need them really anyway.

Thanks!

Now that's a smart answer. Type msconfig in Start Run, then run the =
parent program to see if it self repairs.
