    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.
