Go to start>run>'regedit' or if it does not work go to 'regedt32'.

When the menu comes up, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>MICROSOFT>WINDOWS>CURR ENT VERSION>RUN

Then delete whatever you don't want starting up.

I dont see the program :/

is there a way to temporarily pause each one so i can isolate which one it would be?

Try start->run->msconfig

my savior
ok so that program is gone
bue i get system utility page every time i start windows
and everyting i press ok it restarts
so i just checked the box that says dont show it any more
was that an important windo?

thanks to muno and darkstar
but not to exreaction
just kidding

i owe exreaction my life

No, that wasn't important box. It just tells you that you've used msconfig to modify your system startup.

Hey, sorry I had to leave early, I was very tired, you meant that media source go toolbar right? Well, you can just click the x on it in the upper righthand corner of the bar, and it will not load up anymore.
