Note:The best way to stop programs loading into the systray if possible is to use the program's own options if it has one to stop it loading.
Win98 users!!Start Icon/Run and type msconfig and press ok and use the Startup Tab
Win95user Can use Regcleaner.exe off my Free Programs Page
Tip:To fully remove the Task Schedular you must also remove the Windows Critical update.
Windows only needs Explorer and Systray in the Ctrl Alt Delete
list to run,everything else can be stopped whilst you track down a problem.
There is an excellent freeware
program called"BLA" (Boot Log Analyser)Bla Use this program but veiw the,"Dekays" as they will give you clues.Empty your bootlog.txt on your Root drive(where your
Msdos.sys file is) and then re-boot and either press the F2 key as it boots or
the F8 key and choose logged bootup to make a new fresh one and the run
BLA.This will show delays and you can go from there. This shows where some
programs load from on bootup that may not show in the Ctrl Alt Delete and may
be running in the background and not show in the systray.
If you have a Network Card
installed make sure it is set"Specify an IP address. Give it a number
like 192.168.0.1 Make sure you do NOT change the IP address for your dial-up
connection.I can't take credit for this one and I don't know the original poster
to thank*> Click here for more info Network Card Slow Booting
Places things start from.
1-Items in the startup
folder(delete/rename or move the shortcut)

All things below this line are
dangerous without experience WARNING:If you have a pre-win95b version of windows
then download the updated version of Regedit(around 103/104k)as the old one was
useless and dangerous.Also backup your registry with the free WRP program from
my other pages.
