FOR SOME STRANGE REASON THIS PROGRAM CALLED mIRC IS
ATTACHED SOMEHOW AT STARTUP ON MY COMPUTER. I CAN'T
REMOVE IT USING THE CONTROL PANEL ADD/CHANGE PROGRAMS
OPTION. DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA HOW TO GET THIS THINK
OFF/OUT OF STARTUP?
 
It's an Internet Relay Chat program.
Here's a google search on it:

Doesn't answer the OP's question. He want's to know how to stop it
initialising on startup....

It'll be in the registry under one of:-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_USERS\<His User ID>\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Use regedit to find where and delete the entry.

Altenatively, get the WXP version of MSConfig and disable it with that:-
