[waddy 0]

Could you tell me how to stop certain applications running at startup please.

 

I have SETI and it runs as soon as i boot and want to stop it...

 

Also that MS office start up too..

 

 

in win98 i use msconfig for this but dont know how to do it in win2K...

 

thanks

One place is in the control panel-

 

Control Panel->Admin. Tools->Services

 

Youll find things that are memory resident, such as norton auto-protect and what not.

One way to do it is to install the version of msconfig from Win ME. Simply copy it to the winnt directory of your Win 2K machine and reboot. It works perfectly under Win 2K Professional.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that both the SETI startup and the Office startup files both live in the Startup area of the start button.

 

Delete the shortcuts from \Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Saves all the nasty mess with the registry 8)
