where can i access the the programs that my computer loads on startup. i want to disable some of these to allow for a faster boot sequence. I know some of these running programs are not seen in the lower right hand corner. i have xp pro.
Yes, there are some ways which can enable you do this:
1, use Visual Studio/resourcehacker.exe etc, which you can import or export resources with the exe programes, you can also change it's Dialogs and Strings etc, etc, but some pros are not allowed to do so, but there are still programe to force to do so
2, use IconExe , a programe which enables you to do so, also easier
