Hi,
How to see the list of the applications that will be loaded when the W2K
boots up? And how to remove the unwanted one?
Thanks

F8 during W2K bootup
Select "boot with log" Then spend the rest of the day finding the log
file! I believe it is named ntbtlg .

But then you might have to chase the auto start jobs. Look in the
registry HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

And, as a user you might start some programs. Look in your
Profile\Start Menu\Programs\Startup .

This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting
locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to
run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order
Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder,
Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show
other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser
helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more.
Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and
XP.
