Startup question

I'm trying to disable a few programs from automatically startup when system boot. I just forgoten which ini file is it. Can someone help refresh my memory? thanks

 

type "msconfig" into the run command!

 

That's the strangest thing...I did tried that...but my win2k can't find the file????

 

This reason I'm asking is that my notebook is infected with W32/Duster (Mcaffee) / W32.HLLW.Studd (Norton), my NAV manage to delete the file or everytime at startup a message box pops up saying unable to rrun the damn virus, and it's irritating. NAV sux.

BTW the boot ini file i was looking for is system.ini, unfortunately it's not there damn.

 

Yes I found it!!!

Tha damn thing hide in registry......under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>Windows NT>CurrentVersion>Winlogon

There is a string Value name: Shell, Value data: Explorer.exe dust.exe

Not even McAfee or Norton website has this......

 

LOL! Old virus?

 

for WinNT, it's another command, i'll try searching, but for Win9x and WinXP, it's msconfig

 

Actually is quite new
