Can you be more specific to what "disable them" applies to MagiK? The pop-up windows? The startup programs?

I usually go to start, then run and type in msconfig then click ok.Go to the startup tab and uncheck the programs you don't want to start with windows.

I just re-installed my computer for the fourth time (in 2 days, formatting and all)
But about the topic, I always use msconfig to counter all the software that is loaded when I start windows, its SO annoying if you see what loads (most of it is worthless and slows down your pc because they need to update [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] ) Use msconfig instate of the regedit (its easier and much saver if your un-common in the windows registry)

Pc-cillin works fine for me under XP [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] Personally speaking, I consider the occasional unprompted popup offering virus/programme updates a positive benefit. How else do I know that I am keeping up-to-date with solutions to the latest crap that the script kiddies have thrown in my direction

MSCONFIG is the best way to go unless you are absolutely sure of what you're doing in the registry.
Windoctor is very useful for deleting invalid registry entries. Its smart enough to know that a program has been uninstalled and will help you delete the entries along with invalid Shortcuts. There are a few exceptions to this. For example: when you install Baldurs Gate 2, there are a BUNCH of registry entries that appear to be invalid UNTIL you install the patch. Once thats done Windoctor will no longer sees them as invalid. Instead of cleaning the registry, try msconfig first. disabling programs from startup is the goal, not removing them from the registry (which means they will not work properly until the program is re-installed) Did I explain that well?
