dont you need to add that to the batch file. forgot what its called.

The experts will be along soon, or just drag the program into the startup folder in windows.

I'd guess you're talking about sysedit.exe which provides a convenient way of editing a number of system files, the one you're probably looking for being win.ini - That said, I wouldn't go editing those files, just drop any programs you want to start with Windows in the Startup folder...

Okay, well - go to Add/Remove programs in Control Panel and get rid of any s**t you see there that you're not using, then boot the PC in Safe Mode and run Adaware to get rid of any spyware and stuff that may be on your system.

Cleaning your PC up and getting back some processing power can be a long winded job, whereabouts are ya?

Or if you are feeling confident regedit - but only if you know what you are doing
