winsck window appears on the Desktop after reboot

[singh]

Gentlemen,

winsck window appears on the Desktop after reboot the
Laptop. Please note it is not Winsock. This window has a
status window and has "unable to open dialog" message box.
The question is how can I stop this window not to appear.
Please help. I have Windows2000 with service pack4
installed. I have run the latest virus program. Nothing
helped. Please respond.

Natively you can; Start\Settings\Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Computer
Management(Local)\System Information\Software Environment\Startup
Programs|View|Advanced, then in the "Location" column, you'll find the path
to the "Startup" location either in the "Startup" directories or from the
registry's "Run" keys.

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

You can delete the shortcuts that you no longer want to run.


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You can delete the string value for the program you no longer want to run.

or copy msconfig from Windows XP
