If you are working on windows 98/ME/2K/or XP Click on"

1. Start
2. Programs
3. Then startup, if it has the folder removing like the usual removing on an icon right click then delete.

Another 1.

Click on:

1. "Start"
2. "Run"
3. Type "msconfig"
4. Click on the Startup tab

uncheck all the boxes then restart your PC.

Umm... No.

Doing this will disable nearly everything in your PC. Don't be surprised if your Antivirus software won't work, you can't dial up to the Internet, or if you can't print.

Instead, check out this thread:

It looks like there's a bunch of suggestions on this topic.

Sorry to add more laughter to the reaction, but that suggestion was one of the funnier things I've seen today! For goodness sake, don't disable everything in msconfig!

Oh my!
