How to stop a program from running whenever you start Windows

To stop (or start) a program/service running every time Win95, 98, etc. starts up, try downloading Startup control panel, from Mike Lin's site: mlin.net. It's very useful, however, I don't think it makes use of the WIN.INI & SYSTEM.INI files. Meaning, a program might be loaded through one of those, and it doesn't know about it. Still, it's very a good program - available in CPL format & EXE.

Msconfig will take care of programs running at startup, and it works in Windows 95. Also the program Startup Cop works better for this than Startup Ctrl. Panel. You can select which programs run at startup.
