ever since i downloaded and installed the admin pack (I
have XP Home and don't know if I really should have done
this), my startup group icon is missing from control
panel. I used to be able to pull up a menu and just
uncheck what i didn't want loaded at startup. Now I
can't get to this area and I have even tried using
msinfo, and i can see the startup group, but I can't
delete anything. Can someone help pls? I really need to
get rid of some of the items loading at startup. This
has really downgraded my performance. I can manually
disable most things after startup, but I don't want to go
through this hassle. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
SubZero
