Post by: kenkew on March 23, 2004, 22:07:49: Your first place to get rid of any programme is;
Click 'start'...then 'settings'...then 'control panel'.
Look for the programme name you want to delete. If it's there, select and delete it. If not, come back here.
PS: All upper case doesn't make for easier reading.

Post by: gavin on March 26, 2004, 17:39:23: Hi Rosebud - you need to type "msconfig" (not misconfig!)

Does that help?

Good luck - Gavin

Post by: colinandyvonne on March 27, 2004, 22:06:15: Okay, found some more info for you.

Windows 2000 doesn't have msconfig. Another google on this found a forum discuss a different subject but stated this:
--
open up Regedit and browse to [HLKM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\RUN]. From there, you can manually delete the values, which are starting the unwanted applications
--

Hope this helps further

Post by: gavin on March 27, 2004, 22:33:20: I'm a cowardy-cat - delving into regedit and editing registry can be more than a little tricky, unless you know what you're doing. Not something you want to get wrong.

I'll see if I can find something a bit safer - I know what it is, as I used to have it, but I can't for the life of me remember the name.

All best - Gavin
