Right click in a blank space in the tray, select Properties, select
Customize at the bottom, and then all that you want to stay out of sight,
click to the right of then and change them to Always Hide. When finished hit
Apply and close.

Kit,
I followed you instructions -- if stops the ones I "unchecked" from
appearing in the System Tray -- but at restart I get a message cautioning me
that a change and Start up is not "normal" -- it is "selective start up" -
option to return to normal and undo what chances I made or "check" the do
not show me this again or start the ms config at Startup.
It does not start it, but I get this same message every time I restart/boot
the system. Can I get rid of this message or go some place and take the
ones I do not wan out of the Startup List or ???
Thanks, Dick

Ramesh,
I tried your (1) below -- and got the message "can't find" -- I think I am
always the Administrator -- I do not log on -- XP just starts has allowed
me to do all changes / updated / etc.
I would rather do it via msconfig than VB Script file.
Advise....

Hi Ramesh,
I did not use quotes -- it will works when it type msconfig but not when I
type msconfig/auto. I did a search for both msconfig and then for auto and
did not come up with any msconfig/auto. Maybe my system do not have it or

That should do it. If nothing helps, open Regedit.exe manually and navigate to:

\Windows
\CurrentVersion
\Run
Delete the "MSConfig" value in the right-pane. This entry is triggerring the "Selective startup" reminder at every logon.

I did a cut/past of your msconfig /auto and it goes to the MS Config
Utility -- same place as if I type just msconfig. What I entered (as you
have typed) was msconfig space slash auto. Did it both via cut and paste
and retyping -- both go to same location as msconif and nothing following
it.

To determine if your user account is Admin, try this:
Open Control Panel > User Accounts.
Next to your User account icon, you'll see the text "Computer administrator".
For Limited user accounts, text "Limited account" is displayed.

I only have one account -- it say Computer Administrator. The other says
Guest and off.
So if I am the Admin, and I have check the message to Not Show again and do
not run msconfig -- as I understand from prior message -- the message should
not appear -- but it does. Is my understanding correct?
I tried to run the nomsconfig.vbs and MS Anitspyware Beta (which I am
running) will not allow it (there was no override offered).
With the Regedit -- I find the folder -- but I do not see how to open the
contents and modify them.

Temporarily disable MS Antispyware beta and run the VBScript (It's totally safe, from Doug's site).
