Open 'StartMenu ' folder - You can do this by exploring the folders.\n\nUnder 'Startmenu' find out what are the programmes scheduled for startup. Remove 'My computer' from startup folder, it would be fine.

Have you tried using start > control panel > add/remove programs > & uninstall it from there?

right click on your start button and choose properties then set your start menu to xp style, you will see icons then.  also, if your task manager is not pulling up, you probably have to much stuff running in the background and your system is struggling with what little memory it has to work with.  Try this:  click on start>Run>type in the open field:  msconfig and click ok.  click on the startup tab at the top and disable all start-up items and then reboot.  i bet your task manager will open then.

Try directly typing the yahoo mail address in the address bar. It some times happens with the desktop icon.

buddy go to your "taskbar(it contains "start","quick launch") - the big bar at the bottom". Right click on it and then go to "properties". Select "Start Menu" tab and then click on "customize" button, then click on the "advanced" tab and finally click on "clear list" button. Then click "ok" and then "apply".

The programs above the line are considered to be in your start menu...and will be there until you remove them.  The ones below the line are your most used programs and they will actually change depending on how often you use them or not.\n\nYou can right click on most icons and you will see the option to "pin to the start menu", which will then add that icon's program to the start menu.   Likewise, if you right click on any of the programs in your start menu (above the line) you will see the option to "unpin from the start menu", which will remove the icon from your start menu.\n\nOr as the previous person said....just ignore it...

Turn on the computer. \nClick on start. Click on Run. Type in MSConfig. Then click on OK. You would have the system configuration utility. On that click on the startup tab. Under this, click on disable all. Then click on apply. Then check only those options that have a description of ur anti-virus and important software that u think is needed. Then click on apply again and then click on ok. It will ask you to restart the computer. Go ahead and do it. Once the computer starts up, it should be much faster. \n\nComing to the icons, first of all, what you could try is deleting them. Right-click on them and then click on delete. If that does not help then, right-click on the empty space on the desktop and then point to "Arrange Icons by" and then click on Show Desktop Icons, if it is already checked. This should take out all the icons from the desktop. \n\nAny other questions, get back on here! ;)

Unless they have changed it in the latest version, the removal procedure is:\nStart -> Control Panel\nAdd or Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components\nUncheck MSN Explorer, Outlook Express and Windows Messenger.\nClick Next\nClick Finish\n\nKeep in mind that if you use Outlook Express for your email, you may not be able to remove Windows Messenger. If this is the case, then you will want to remove it from the start up, so that it no longer starts when your computer starts. \n\nWhen the program is open, it will either be on the screen or down in the right hand corner as an icon in the system tray. Double click to get it open on the screen, then find the settings window. It should be under Preferences, Tools, Option, Settings or System, I don't remember which. Then find the tab with the start up options and uncheck the box to start when Windows starts.\n\nIf that doesn't work, then go \nStart -> Startup -> Windows Messenger\nRight click on Windows Messenger, and then click delete. Click "Delete Shortcut" and it will remove the program from the startup folder.\n\nIf all these fail, then more radical action is required. Let me know and I will try to help via email.\n\nGood luck!

You need to go to preferences and unclick the thing that says "start up at sign in."  If you can't find it you can uninstall and reinstall, and that is one of the questions you are asked through the set up.
