Re: Cleaning up XP startup applications

["J M Plank" <plank.computer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

I don't know where to tell you to look on the system, but CCleaner and
WinPatrol both show startup jobs that aren't in the Startup program group.
I'm still playing with WinPatrol to see if I'll use it on all my home pcs,
but CCleaner has been very useful and tracked down several unneeded startup
programs on my wife's computer.  I normally use CCleaner to remove unneeded
files.
