Good day all!
I have several external programs that start up when I log on. (e.g. Net
Nanny, XP Pop-Up Blocker, MSN Messenger, and a few more). My question is
this. How do I remove them from starting up automatically and can they be a
source of my system running slow upon boot-up?

Thanx

Paul

Type in ipconfig

make sure you have saved a restore point before playing
around with ipconfig

Open each of those programs and examine their settings menus for options
that control startup behavior. Make the desired changes in these menus.

If no luck, use Start> Run> MSCONFIG
On the startup page of this tool, uncheck the boxes for the programs that
you do not want running at startup.
