Remove a startup item...
Experts,
How would I go about removing something from automatically loading when I boot up? The culprit is called VPN-1 Secure Client, and I am running Windows 2000...
Start->Run..."msconfig" did not work for me...I am running on a local network and have limited administrator rights.
Any ideas?

May be so easy that it get's overlooked:
Is there an entry for this program in Start->All Programs->Startup?
If so, delete it. :-)

If it is in the system tray, you may want to right-click it and configure it through the program... if it's a reputable program that is.
try your best to uninstall the software.... I had to nuke systems because VPN software not uninstalled correctly.
And thats after hours of reg hacking :(

Thanks to everyone who contributed...the first person got the majority of the points because I used their solution but I wanted to reward the effort of others as well...
And as a sidenote, I had a bet with a co-worker it would be answered in under 5 minutes, and it was actually less than 1...I love Experts Exchange!
