How do I prevent System Information from executing on start-up. It is really slowing my logons down, bacause it has to load the information every time. I don't see any properties or options anywhere that will prevent it from opening, so is there some registery edit or other fix. Any help is most appreciated. Thanks!

Do you have MSINFO32 in your startup folder or one of the run keys in the registry causing it to run at startup. Have a look via MSCONFIG typed in run box and see what is loading at startup and disable anything you don't require.
 
recommend that you 1st. check all the shortcuts and see if some how u loaded the msinfo32.exe into startup folder i have seen this several times... Frank Smith

The only things in my startup folder are GoBack and some programs associated with my sound card. I will look into MSCONFIG when I get a chance. Thanks for the tips!
