Every time I log on to Windows XP I always get a bunch of
programs wanting me to open them up immediately (KazAA,
ICQ, AOL instant messenger, etc). Does anyone know how I
can prevent them from doing this and have a nice clean
log-in??
Thanks, John
 
Hi John,

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.

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
