Start: Programs: System Tools: I only have disk degrag and scan disk in this file. Where do I look for the others like System Conviguration Utility? Also I need the name of the file. This is the only way I know how to remove items off of my active start-up bar at the bottom right.
 
START>RUN and type msconfig
It is not listed in the start menu. James Collins

Win95 has nothing like that. Now you can edit the registry and remove them there.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run (Check all the run folders).
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run (Check all the run folders). Also check the startup folder.
You can access the registry via regedit
