See below.

Yay, not necessary.

Hi David,

Thanks for the reply. Upon reading your response to #1, I
remembered that Agent does not write anything to the registry, so I
screwed up my courage and merely dragged all the files in startup to a
new folder I made in the programs listing. I then deleted the empty
folder in startup, restarted the computer, and Agent performed, as
always, flawlessly. Usenet life is good. <G>

I then did the same thing with Eudora Light's entry in the
startup folder, rebooted, and Eudora performs as expected.

Now, when I turn on my computer, I am no longer confronted by
those useless windows, and I didn't even have to use a system restore
to repair any damage I might have created with all this moving &
deletin'.

Thanks again for your time. If not for your advice, I'd be
sittin' here terrified to go messing with any settings.

Best regards,
