How do auto-load programs load?

Bobby

There are a couple of programs that automatically load (XP SP2) that I want
to disable.

I know that any program in the Startup folder autoloads but these programs
are not there so why are they loading and how do I stop them loading?

They are not system files - simply utilities that I don't want to have to
unload every time I reboot.

Cheers.

The Startup folder is a small part of Startup.
You can:

Uninstall the program

Check in its options or preferences to see if it allows disabling at
startup.

Last resort:
Uncheck the entry from Msconfig (Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab)
