Mr. Mark,
I am curious, but have been lazy. I've been cleaning my computers using the regedit tip you explained, however there is also an entry, "runservices" just below run that also loads items. (I found it when I was trying to figure out why the power dll always loaded twice into memory.) Anyway, I also delete items from there but have never checked out how it is different from run.

TIA,
Steve

Here is a W2000 tip that may be of use:

TODAY'S eTIP™: Mouse-Button Secrets
In Windows 2000, pointing your mouse at something and clicking the right button often brings up a secret hidden menu with extra options. For example, right-click on a blank portion of your Desktop and a menu pops up, enabling you to organize your Desktop's icons or change the way your display looks. Just about every option that right-clicking offers can be accomplished in other ways. But once you experience the joys of being sneaky, you may use the right button as often as the left.
