I have a bunch of programs that are running during the
boot sequence, delaying a quick startup.

I can see them if I go to -- Programs -- Accessories --
System Information --Software Environment -- Startup
Programs. BUT IT WONT Let me simply delete a program from
this list.

Some said run REGEDIT or msconfig.exe (doesnt load on W2K).

Is there a simpler way? I want to keep these applications
on my CPU, but dont want them loading and using so much
CPU during startup.
 
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.
