If you haven't got MSCONFIG, you can copy it from an XP machine to a Win2K machine and it works just fine.\n\nPut it in C:&#92;Windows&#92;System32 (or C:&#92;Winnt&#92;System32 depending on your Windows folder) and run it from the Run dialog.

There may be programs that are set to start up automatically when Windows starts.  The should be a folder in the Windows directory that has a folder called Start Up.  Inside may be icons to these programs.  Delete the icons for the programs you don't want or need to automatically start when Windows boots up.

Try the msconfig utility\nClick on Start and then Run\nType in: msconfig\nIn the window that opens go to the startup tab\nYou will see everything being loaded when your computer is booted.  That System32 window should be one of them.  Simply uncheck it and it will not load in the future.  If you do the wrong one, just re-check it.\n\nWhile there, you may want to uncheck any other things loading that you can live without.  The fewer things loaded here, the faster your PC will run.

Click on start then run.  In the run box type msconfig.  click on the startup tab and there you have a list of the programs that startup.  Uncheck any you dont think you need and reboot.

First, do start -control panel -add & remove programs\nRemove any you don't want/use.\nThen do start - run. Enter 'msconfig' without the quotes and (if you know what they are) disable any programs from starting up on boot that you don't want to.\nSpyware/adware scans are probably worth doing, if you don't do them regularly already.

there are a number of methods to stop those,\n1) go to start --> run --> type in msconfig.\nthen you can remove the start up items, and also you can remove the autoexec and config files from there.\n2) empty the start up folder. in programe files.\n3) the taskbar has some there, you can remove it from there.

The registry keys only exist in the folders that have values set withing them.\nGo to Hkey local machine/software/microsoft/windows/run or runonce and you will find any new entries that have been added for programs that are running on your computer from start up.(virus will run at or immediately following boot up so you should find what your looking for there.\nGet XP because 2000 & M E suck

On windows XP or similar go start - all programs - startup. Find the programs you don't want to run at startup, right mouse click on them and go to the delete option.

Assuming you are using Windows XP...\n\n1- Go to your "start" menu.\n2- Click on "Run"\n3- Type "msconfig" in the blank space and click OK\n4- A window should open. You can configure how Windows starts up from there, including which programs automatically start up alongside windows.
