Default Ms Config and Start up programs

I want to customize which programs start up with my computer. And eliminate
the icons in the lower right (next to clock) for programs that I don't use.

I was told to run MS Config. Is this correct or is there another method?
Thanx

Default RE: Ms Config and Start up programs

Msconfig is a troubleshooting utility/function. Really is not correct method
for disabling icons in system tray.

"Some" of the icons come from Programs/Startup. This is a good place to
start for removing unwanted program running when starting up.

The "other" icons in system tray are more complex. Possible yuo would have
to uninstall/remove application/program (Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs)
in order to remove icon from system tray.

Of course, on most icons yuo can click on them to see what app/program is
putting the icon in system tray.

If I was not clear, for items in Startup (Start>Programs>Startup). You can
select rt click and then delete to remove.
or
you can go to directly yo Startup Folder using My Computer or Windows
Explorer.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
of course match yuor drive letter. Mine is "C". See above.
