But as for the startups, post some examples.

Typically, you should look in the start menu - Start, All Programs, Startup.
Some things can be deleted from there.

Others need to be removed from the system registry. Editing the registry is
not something to be taken lightly, but doesn't have to be intimidating.

Go back to MSCONFIG, and expand the column widths, and it will tell you how
each item is being started. Typically, it would be
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run (HKLM means
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) or HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
(HKCU means HKEY_CURRENT_USER). Go there in the registry, EXPORT A COPY of
that "branch" and save it where you can find it again in case something
doesn't work right so you can put it back (right-click on the word "run" and
select "export" from the menu.)

Tea Timer is the one aspect of Spybot that I never use - too intrusive

As for your remaining Startup items - check them out at
http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php Often the
information there included details as to how to get rid of that item.

Good luck

"Anyone who thinks that they are too small to make a difference
has never been in bed with a mosquito."

My wife has a new Toshiba laptop runnin' Winders XP (pro I think)
And 800 billion programs and crap start when her PC starts.
I went into msconfig and manually unchecked everything in the Startup
tab except Tea Timer.
I got a warning telling me that I wasn't the administrator (I am), but
since it was a Winders warning I just clicked OK and of course it let
me make the changes. SpayBot (keeps the PC from having kittens) put up
the usual slew of crap that wanted me to check the 'remember this
decision' and I allowed the change to the registry.
After another 'you're not an administrator' warning I was directed to
reboot, which I did.

Upon restarting I was informed that I had made changes to startup and
the steekin' PC was startin' in some fool diagnostic mode and would I
be so kind to tickle it just so...
I did and everything is back where it was before I started. (with
accompanying Spaybot alerts and four part harmony...

So what I wanted to do to begin with was not have all that shit start
up every time the frickin' computer started.
I've since right-clicked each of the pictures in the tray and some of
them allowed me to turn 'em off and forbid 'em from showin' their
sorry asses there again, but as to the rest...

Can someone loan me a clue?

Ah! That's what I wuz lookin' for!

Yeah, back when I had Winders 3.11 my program manager went away one
day and I was forced to learn about the registry.
Since then if I ever have to fuck with the registry I export stuff to
my desktop...
But I've not had much problem with it lately (touch wood!)
(All you homopervs just keep it in yer pants! It's just an expression
like "knock on wood"...)

The wife (of goin' on 20 years K-man! can you IMAGINE??) is kvetchin'
that her thing is goin' too slow (and her computer too) so I was
thinkin' it was all that crap in her tray...

Frosty inspired greatness with:

Is that a fact?

Frosty,

I suggest to do the following:

- Turn off Spybot's Teatimer:[*] Open Spybot.[*] Go to Mode > Advanced Mode.[*] Go to Tools > Resident.[*] Uncheck the box beside "Resident Teatimer active."[*] Close Spybot.

- Open msconfig and under the General tab, put a dot beside Normal
Startup. It will check all the crap that you unchecked before but we
need to see what's important and what's not.

- And the most important part use HiJackThis.

Go to this site and download HiJackThis.
<http://www.majorgeeks.com/HijackThis_d3155.html>

(Use Winzip to unzip it, if you get a zipped version ending with
the .zip extension, then install and run it. IF it has an exe
extension there is no need to unzip. Both of the above locations are
exe files.)

NOTE: HiJackThis.exe file SHOULD be installed in it's own folder.
Before downloading create a folder and name it HiJackThis then d/l
HiJackThis to that folder.

The reason for it's own folder is because HiJackThis will create not
only log files, but a backup of whatever it removes so you can restore
if necessary. If you d/l HiJackThis to your desktop and run it from
there you will have log and backup files scattered all over your
desktop. Also, DO NOT place it in a Temp folder. For whatever
reason, HJT can not/will not create backup files if it is sitting in a
TEMP folder.

To run, click the "Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It
should open in Notepad at that point. Copy and paste the results in
your next post. Most of what it finds is harmless, so DO NOT DO
ANYTHING YET.

I'll be waiting for a prompt reply...
