I have a program that loads every time I turn on my computer that suggests I or another program wants information from Gator.com and which internet connection to use.How do I get rid of this annoyance. I am running Windows XP Home Edition. Any help appreciated. Thanks

In Win98, I would run "msconfig" and uncheck it in my "startup" programs. XP must have a similar feature. (?)

Windows XP does have the 'msconfig' feature.

SImply go to the Start Menu and scroll up to 'Run'

type: msconfig

Then go to the last tab, "Start Up"

Uncheck the program you do not want to run at startup.
