Remove Startup Scripts in XP

Startup scripts are programs that are set to start whenever the computer boots up. By accessing the startup menu settings, you can decide what programs you want to allow to start when the computer starts and which ones you don’t.
This System Configuration panel is easy to access, but unless you know exactly what script you want to disable on startup, you shouldn’t use it without consulting a professional, lest you accidentally damage the operating system, rendering it inoperable.
Instructions
1.Press the “Start” button, click the “Run” option and type in “MSCONFIG” and then hit the Enter key.
2.Click the “Startup” tab and scroll through the list of startup programs and scripts until you find the startup script that you wish to remove from the list.
3.Uncheck the checkbox next to the name of the script you’re removing and then click the “Apply” button. Click the “OK” button and then choose whether to restart the computer immediately or wait until later. You must restart the computer in order to apply the settings you have selected.
