Default Removing programs that start with windows.


-----Original Message-----
I have a number of programs that start when I start

windows. I wish to
remove them. (Task bars, calendar watchers etc.). I

have tried going
through msconfig-start as mentioned in other posts but I

get a message when
I reboot that I am in diagnostic mode or something. If

I click normal mode
it reverts to original settings.

Help

Dzny5,

First try to disable the "Startup" function from within the program, if
there is no option for disabling the program(s) from starting up, then visit
the following site for a list of locations where programs startup and
disable them from there;

http://aumha.org/win4/a/loads.htm

Many people recommend using MSConfig, but it was not really intended as a
tool for this purpose, the real purpose of MSConfig is to troubleshoot
problems and temporarily disable programs from there, that's why you see the
screen message about running in diagnostic mode.
