to - on the Programs
folder, then look for a folder called Startup.
I use AOL,
so it is showing on mine.
This enables it
to show in the Tool Bar area,
next to the Start button.
Look
at the programs listed there & determine what
you do or do not need. You're done.

To see the
changes, you will have to reboot your system.
Then after it fully boots, you can press the
control alt & delete buttons, all at the same
time. Becareful in doing this, only do it 1 time,
pushing all 3 keys again, or a 2nd time will
restart your computer.
Look
& see what you have loading now. It is a
necessity to have Explorer &
Systray. I also show a file
called Em_exec, which is a part
of my mouse. I have an AV (Anti Virus) program
that loads 2 files.
InoculateIT <~click for their
site...free AV software for home users.
Great
programs, & free updates, just register.
Please read their FAQ's & be sure not to have
another AV program installed on your system, they
will conflict.
The
following link may help you determine what the
programs are.

TSR's
Note: The files or
icons that you find are a part of the program(s)
that are loading in Windows. You can determine
whether or not you want these loading, depending
on your system. I, personally, only keep FPxpress
& Notepad running.
Before you remove any of these, please be sure
that you know what the program is & what it's
function is. As well as making sure that it's a
shortcut. Do this by right click on the program
or Icon select Properties, & it will tell you
what it is. Now you determine what to do with it.
Caution:
If it is a program, it should be left alone or
dealt with from the program itself.
