Question about 'How do I stop a program from running whenever I start Windows?'

I have a question about How
do I stop a program from running whenever I start Windows?:
Perhaps it's been answered before, but here goes (and be gentle, I've barely started
working with the Registry!) I use Telnet to access one of my email accounts and had
it so that it would startup on booting up... but would like to get rid of that start
up feature while still using the app. I've already tried all the tips listed in the
article and it STILL does it - the 'auto Telnet start up' not listed anywhere in
the load or run lines or Registry. What can I do to stop it?! Where the heck is it
hidden! Help!

Have you tried your Startup folder? Or have you looked in win.ini for 'run=' or 'load='
lines?

yes, I did that too... no luck stopping it.
Thanks for replying, though

thanks for all the suggestions, but nothing works. I actually deleted the shortcut
for the startup folder under the Start Menu... think that has something to do with
it?
