Rich, This is a post that will show all programs that start up when you boot the computer. Easy to clean any unwanted programs To: Doug T. (1386 ) From: snerd Monday, Jan 4 1999 7:36AM ET Reply # of 1530 Doug... Sometimes I make it harder than it has to be. There's an easier way to do what I described earlier. There's a little known tool in '98 that makes managing the startup programs really easy. Go to start, programs, accessories, system tools, system information. When that comes up, look on the menu bar for "tools", then "system configuration utility". When that comes up, go to the "startup" tab. This will show you everything that runs at startup. Simply "uncheck" anything you don't want to run at startup, then reboot when it asks. The previous procedure I posted will work too, but this is a little easier and safer. Snerd Hope this helps, Doug
