What are the steps to make an application like Win Media
Player start when WinXP starts? What are the steps to
PREVENT applications from starting when WinXP starts?
Many thanks! Marty
 
The easiest way to add something to the startup is to just drag the icon to
the start button on the taskbar. The next time you boot up the computer,
the program will start automatically.

To remove programs from startup, go to Start, Run and type 'msconfig'. Go
to the startup tab and uncheck the items you don't want to run at startup.
Be careful what you uncheck as some are needed for Windows to function
correctly or you may disable anti-virus, etc. so check to make sure what
they are before you uncheck.
