I've always found 'msconfig' to be helpful too, you might want to check it out.

Thanks, I wanted to mention that utility in my post but couldn't remember its name. I'm on Windows 2000 at the moment (the utility doesn't come with NT or 2000) and couldn't do any trial-and-error stuff with the run box.

Doug, go to start/run and type MSCONFIG in the box. It'll show you everything that runs on startup of this PC and allow you to edit it.
