But, for a lot of the other Win9X irritants, you gotta use msconfig or do the Registry Hack -- my collected Registry Hack documentation now makes up a manual of its own, but I no longer have menus full of items I don't need, devices that load whether I want them or not, anything related to channels, active desktop or....... Try going to the MS Knowledge Base -- a lot of the Registry Hacks are there if you are determined. And, If you have Win95 or 98 Gold (choke!) TweakUI is in the Powertoys directory on the CD......
