Dave, Yes, you are correct. And when I have collected a number of unchecked items over a period of time, I go to the Registry and delete the keys there. So I was being somewhat metaphorical and misleading.

Two places: 1. Windows+r, then type in MSConfig and press enter. Ctrl+Tab to the startup page. List contains "stuff" that loads automatically when you start Windows. Delete with care. 2. Start/Programs/Startup arrow to undesired application. App key or shift+f10 for context menu Select Delete anything there you don't want starting Repeat until satisfied.

Hi folks. Got a question about the programs that load at start-up. Is there a way jaws users can find what programs are loading at start-up and disable them. Several programs are starting that I don't need, when my computer boots up. Thanks for the help.
