* Control Panel|Users and Passwords, then uncheck the box for "Users must
enter a user name and password to use this computer"

* Natively you can; Start\Settings\Control Panel\Administrative
Tools\Computer Management(Local)\System Information\Software
Environment\Startup Programs|View|Advanced, then in the "Location" column,
you'll find the path to the "Startup" location either in the "Startup"
directories or from the registry's "Run" keys. (note that this window is
read-only so you must manually navigate to the location below to edit or
otherwise delete)
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
You can delete the shortcuts that you no longer want to run.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
You can delete the string value for the program you no longer want to run.
or copy msconfig from Windows XP to the "windows" directory
or AutoRuns from sysinternals
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Autoruns.html
| 3. Is there a way to find out what resources are being used or are
available
| at any given time?
* You can use Task Manager and or Performance Monitor
| 4. Is there a way to backup large files in 3.5' diskettes in a Computer
| using W98SE and restore them in another computer using W2000 Pro?
* Not sure what you're asking here. 1.44 mB is all you get with a 3.5"
floppy.
