How do I stop a program from loading at startup in W2K?

[Se7enFX]

In Win98se I could go to the "System Info" then "Start" tab and "Un-tick" the programs that I didn't want to load. I can't find anything to do this in W2K. Help

u can use a third part software
or use regedit

Thanks for the reply, however, that still doesnt help me much. What 3rd party program and how in regedit?

Whats up Se7enFX,

If you are familiar with using Regedit, then all you have to do is go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ and delete the regfiles you dont want in that(Run) folder. This will stop that program from starting up

or

you can download a program called Start up moniter. I think thats the name of it. Work great. I had it when i was using Win2k--now using Windows XP
Go to download.com and do a search for it. Iam sure there are alot of other programs that will do the same job.

Hope this helps,

Cams

StartupCPL is like MSConfig, only a lot better.
