I think this would have to be done in msconfig.
it's a bit tricky this, as In my experience, jaws does not read the entire
path to a programme, only the first few lines, which might be problematic as
unchecking the wrong box could end up with you messing up your pc. only
uncheck the items you are sure about.
to get into ms config go to run, then type msconfig.
once in there, go to the general tab and right arrow to start up.
tab till you get to a list, then arrow down, listening carefully to the file
paths. if they sound like they belong to the progs you want to disable, then
press the space bar to do this.
once you're satisfied with this, tab to the ok button, hit enter, and then yes
to the message about restarting your pc. the pc will restart and you should
find all progs you want to disable are disabled.
warning! there is no recovery tool for win 98. , so no changes can be reversed
like they can in xp if things go wrong.

thanks for that, have managed to remove 4 of them, but there are at least
another 5 that could go, but are not shown in that menu.
have you got any ideas on how I could remove those ones please?

HI Simon:
under programmes, there should be a menu item called start up. hit enter
on this and arrow up or down to the programme you want to remove
press applications key or right click, whichever you prefer, then arrow to
delete. hit enter on this and answer yes.
this should remove the prog from start up.
there is also a way of doing this from msconfig, but that is more difficult
unless you know which programme the file paths refer to in the start up tab.

hello list,
does anyone know how to remove programs from the start-up group, so that
they do not start when windows does?
there are quite a few in my start-up group, that don't really need to be
running at start-up, and are just hogging computer resources, but I can't seem
to figure out how to remove them.
I am using win98SE.
Simon
