totoymola Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 how could i remove something from starting up with windows if its not in the startup folder?Hello lilweirddude! Have you tried msconfig? About the icons, are you talking about the system tray icons?
MCT Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 in regedit gotoHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
totoymola Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Run msconfig to see the name of the program that you want to disable on start-up. You can also see the registry location there, as MCT said.For example, if I want to disable Yahoo Messenger from my start-up, this is my code.REM THIS WILL DISABLE YAHOO! PAGER ON START-UPREG DELETE HKCU\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\RUN /V "YAHOO! PAGER" /F
lilweirddude Posted January 17, 2005 Author Posted January 17, 2005 yeah, i was trying to moniter changes after using msconfigthanks, will try it outedit: yes i'm talking about the system tray icons
totoymola Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 As for the system tray icons, I'm also looking for a way to do that.
Smeeeprig Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Tray SaverTraySaver is an advanced system tray management utility for Windows 95/98/NT. It gives you a more compact & manageable taskbar by allowing you to hide system tray icons. Tray icons can be moved into a separate floating window, which can then be moved around or hidden as you please. In addition, TraySaver rescues tray icons lost after an Explorer crash, and enables any window to be minimized to the system tray.
durex Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 ...for Windows 95/98/NT...have you tried this on WinXP?

Smeeeprig Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 ...for Windows 95/98/NT...have you tried this on WinXP? Yes it does work in xp but I couldn't get it to display the floating window but you could hide and show things from the menu anyway.Also I haven't tried to do it unattended. I think it is possible though.
jamesas Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 BTW if you guys dont know this already windows xp is actually 'Windows NT 5.1' so most nt software will work in it
