I'm mike80487 and by way of introducing myself my query is how would I modify the number of programs that automatically start when
I start up my computer? Of course I want to reduce this to a minimum. I vaguely recall that a command typed in the RUN window
will tell me what files/programs start during start-up but I do not recall it.
