Thanks Ben,

Went to C/P, there is not a listing for SOFTWARE.

Goes form Scheduled Tasks to Sound Effect Manager.

Ben, look at Add or Remove Programs on the Control Panel. If the programs
you want to remove are listed, click on then one at a time and click the
Change/Remove button.

Steve, I don't want to remove the program, just get it out of
START/RUN/MSCONFIG/STARTUP.

OK, Ben. Look at this, posted by Ronnie Vernon. But be very careful. Be
certain you understand what you are doing, or you could cause severe
problems!


You can look at the entry for an item in msconfig and it will show where it
is located. If the path to the item is no longer there, perform the
following.

Go to Start/Run, type Regedit and press OK.
Navigate to the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupfolder.
There should a a sub-key for each of the disabled items that were starting
from the Start Up folder. These can be deleted.

For items that were started from the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg
Locate and delete the sub-keys for the disabled items there.

I think Ben(notyetretired) might have meant "Add or Remove Programs"?

Paulie - retired and loving it!!

Another way, Ben, from Kelly's site. Try it first, it will be easier and
safer.

Ben;

Open the programs or the icons in the Notification Area
and look for options to NOT start when Windows starts
or similar.
