Re: Cleaning up XP startup applications

["John Taylor" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave,

You don't really need a third party app for this. The link I provided will
show you all registry keys related to startup. A quick way to check exactly
what is starting up is to run msconfig. There is a tab called "Startup" that
will list everything firing up, and where it's been configured to launch.
