TweakUI has settings to take care of this sort of thing.

Backup the registry.
Go Start | Run | type regedit | Ok
Browse the registry folders in the left pane to:

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Win dows\CurrentVersion\Run-

In the right-hand pane delete all entries you no longer want.

An easier way, if you've deleted the associated programmes, is to use something like RegCleaner, which has a nice function that deletes all redundant keys.

124312 2003-03-01 21:22:00 You will see in msconfig on the startip tab at the bottom of that page there is a button saying "cleanup" press that.

It amuses me how some people post the most complicated way to do things

124313 2003-03-01 23:39:00 Glad to be of service providing you with some jocularity, Roof. It's my raison d'etre.

Anyway, it just goes to show how wrong you can be. Unless of course you're using a version of Windows different to some other people. No such button in Win98 (1st).

124314 2003-03-02 00:13:00 ah, ok in WinME there is a button that says cleanup
I good reason why posters should state the OS they are using.
