win98 help needed
I noticed when I hit ctrl alt and del I have some programs running but no clue what they do, I can shut them down and nothing seems to happen, how can I keep some of these programs from running in the first place, on start up? I thought it was the win.ini file but that doesn't seem to be it, I can keep doing in manually with the ctrl alt del but that just a pain.
If you see a program when you hit ctrl-alt-del and you don't know what it is, try googling for it. This helps.
Are you comfortable using regedit?
If so look at:
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
amd
My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
If you dont want to use regedit, try msconfig. The startUp tab is what you want.
msconfig comes with win98 and here is a tutorial:

Hey Rausrh, thanks a lot for that link! :D
I always wondered how you could edit that stuff. Now my pc boots up a tad faster. Omg you should see how fast my roomy's boots now! She has a ton of crap on her computer, it being a compact and all, and I just edited hers. It normally takes like 5-10 mins to boot up. It took a whole minute this time! She had so much stuff I could turn off. It was amazing!
Thanks! :D
Oh gawd I'm so happy real player doesn't boot at all now unless I tell it to. Droooooooooooooooool.
