Hi

I want to stop an app (for USB ADSL modem) from auto starting.

It doesnt appear in the startup menu folder.

Ive looked in system/manage and can see it listed as the last item in the
startup group but there are no controls to stop it.

Any ideas?

In case youre wondering why I want to stop this...its because its on a
laptop and when on the move I dont want a big red icon in the system tray
needlessly reminding me the USB modem isnt plugged in.

Thanks

Ian

Hi Peter

Thanks for that. Great.

Previously I had tried typing in MSCONFIG but of course it didnt work!
