I recently learned that on my W95b machine I can find all the programs that
start in the background by looking at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
You'll find programs that startup on boot that do *not* show up under the
Sart Menu-Programs-Startup folder.
I cleaned a few things out that I didn't want and my bootup is a bit faster
now.
