> [[The correct method for removing any startup is to use the program

> StartMan or any other startup managers, and some will actually
> restore their startups automatically, thus creating duplicates.
> Therefore always check the main program's own options or preferences,
> or the system tray icon's options (if the program has one) before
> resorting to any startup manager - including this one. Startup
> managers should ONLY be used to disable startups temporarily - such
> as when troubleshooting - or to remove non-essential startups that
> have no removal options whatsoever. ]]

> StartMan is a GOOD Utility, I use it all the time, especially after

> StartMan shows where something starts from. Check out the Help in
> StartMan also! You can either have StartMan disable startups or just
> use it to find where something is loading from.
