How to disable startup programs in Win2000 ?

[Guest]

In Windows 98, I can edit what programs to start up by going to System Information and find the startup section to edit.

Is there a similar function in Windows 2000 so I can disable some of the programs that are being loaded at startup ?

Thanks

P.S. The "Start Up" folder in Programs contain nothing in it, but still many programs are starting up by itself.

There might be something in the start up folder for "all users", which would be in [c:\documents and settings\all users\start menu\programs\startup].

Let us know if that doesn't fix your problem

Check these registry keys also. Many programs use these keys to start at login as opposed the the startup folder.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
