Deleting items from Start up programme. XP

[Xmod]

Really embarrased to ask! How do I get to the list from which I can delete unnecessary programes at start up? Microsoft XP -have done it before but memory not good. :confused:

[sicamore]

Either startup folder in programs list or run "msconfig" and disable there

[Xmod]

Thank you what a service. Now going off air for another year!

you can get at it more easily through an MS utility called "Autoruns"
see Autoruns for Windows (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902)

Nice one COCL2. Thanks for the link - quite an eye-opener!

If you have CCleaner, can be done form its tools tab.

Only some items are available from there
Take a look at that Autoruns program - you'll soon see the difference

Tried Autoruns, seems to be a very useful program.

Thanks for that.
