Can anyone tell me which command i use, in run, to open the list of startup
programs so i can stop some of them from starting each time i log on to
windows. i use windows xp home edition.

Thank You

msconfig

type MSCONFIG..

Use it for diagnostic purposes only.. the best way to close programs on
start-up is to individually click on each item in the notification area, and
look for a setting to prevent auto-starting..

Good luck

Hi Marc,

Check for an option to not having the icon load in the System Tray via the
program(s) in question.

Other options for removal:

Go to Start/Run and type in: msconfig. Go to the Startup Tab and uncheck
accordingly. Then run this script to remove the disabled items from the
registry.

Tip:

Clear Disabled Items from Msconfig Startup and Selective Startup (Line 148)

Or...remove the runkeys from here: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
