Method 2: Use the System Configuration Utility (Msconfig.exe) to Disable the Startup Item Click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type msconfig, and then click OK. Click the Startup tab. Click to clear the check box beside any desktop entries in the Startup Item column that are listed as Common Startup in the Location column, and are also located in any of the following locations (as indicated in the Command column): drive:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup drive:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs drive:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu Click OK to quit the System Configuration Utility.
