removing startup files/processes

lynx6200 · 08-19-2005, 06:52 PM

I think I saw something about this before, but I was wondering how you can remove programs and file from startups and from running, as processes. I dont mean removing them in msconfig, but actualy finding the files, and deleting them. Can you do this manualy, or do you need to use some software like HJT to find the files locations.

hmmm, didnt know of that command. But anyway i typed that in, but didnt see any options for startup programs. There is only Hardware Resources, Components, Software Environment, Internet Setting, and Office 10 Applications.
(this is actualy on my office comp. w/ windows xp pro, which is whats on my personal comp., so i fugre it would be the same)
