All the dumb icons in my system tray are there via registery entries (they are not in the startup). How do
I find them in the registery so I can delete them. They are just a waste of system resources and space.
What I usually do is:
[list=1][*]Go To Start-->Run[*]Enter MsConfig[*]Goto StartUp Tab[*]Uncheck unwanted applications[/list=1]
Works for me.
Unfortunatly Win 95 does not have msconfig.
In that case you will find the offending keys here:
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/RunOnce
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/RunServices
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/RunServicesOnce
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/RunOnce
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/RunServices
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/RunServicesOnce
If any of the keys have a - after the name it means that MsConfig has removed them.
QWERTY & NeilAvent:
Thanks.
