Why not just set preferences for each program? Do you have TweakUI? You can unselect
the items you don't want running at startup.
Right-click on the icons in the tray area, open each, go through the options to turn
off the "tray" or "run at startup" feature.
Win 98 or newer>> Btw, 98 ver. msconfig. works in 95. If you can get a copy, all
you need to do is drag it into your Windows\system folder and reboot.
Go to Start>Run, type: msconfig. Leave systray, scan registry, Load Power Profile
(both), your virus scanner and firewall if you have one.
Go to Start>Run, type sysedit. Look over the autoexec.bat for unneccessary lines,
click the win.ini and check for programs loading here:
[windows]
load=
run=
Close and save changes
