45000	2002-04-22 00:34:00	G'day Anyone unfortunate enough to follow the long-running saga of my NIC/internet lockouts will recall that the problem was caused by entries for TweakUI and TweakDUN in my startup menu (as accessed via msconfig). Both programs have been uninstalled but their entries remain in the startup menu. This morning my lockouts returned and I immediately checked the above menu and sure enough, they were ticked again. Unticking fixed the problem as expected, but how do I remove these entries from this menu so that it can't happen again. Maybe I'm blind but I can't see any way to edit the list or remove entries for non-existent programs. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jim	Guest (0)

'Perserverance may be the key, but its not much use when the locks been changed'	Guest (0)
