how do you disable programs from starting up during boot-up in win2000? I am familiar with shutting off start-up programs with win98 but can't do it with win2000. MS changed it and i haven't been able to figure it out. I have a program that wants to start-up at boot-up and connect to a server when i don't even want to use it. Please feel free to email @ wwg56@email.com or reply here. thank you for any help you may supply.
 
regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and maybe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
I can't remember if the runservices one exists in win2k.

Also, in Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services, check what's started and marked as "Automatic"
 
Also check the following key:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
 
Am i able to use the REM command like I could to stop a command line in older DOS. As in stopping a line from running in a autoexec.bat or a config.sys file?
