Does anyone know the RUN: command to turn off task bar
programs from starting automatically during starup? If
you dont know the Run: command, is there another way to
turn off these programs from auto start in the task bar?
Thanks.

Annika,

See if the corresponding applications have the "run at startup" or similar
option (if so disable them). If not, type MSCONFIG in Start., Run and
switch to "Startup" tab. Uncheck the respective application entries there.

Hi,

Start/Run: Msconfig
Then use the Startup Tab.

More info:

Check for an option to not having the icon load in the System Tray via the
program(s) in question.

Other options for removal:

Go to Start/Run and type in: msconfig. Go to the Startup Tab and uncheck
accordingly. Then run this script to remove the disabled items from the
registry.
