That's probably what he meant by "startup", some proggies that list all
"startups" including registry keys.


Some instructions to remove it.

"Microsoft Mobile Synchronization Manager. One annoying programme you will
find running in W2K/XP is mobsync.exe. This is because it is set by default
to synchronise your home page at log-on. To stop this, run the programme
"Synchronise" from your "Start/Programmes/Accessories Menu. Select setup,
and uncheck the synchronisation options, then deselect the option to
synchronise your home page. From explorer select Tools/Folder
Options/Offline Files: deselect the "Enable Offline Files" option. When you
reboot you will find the programme is no longer running by default. You can
also remove optional components from your Windows 2000 installation that
are not shown in the Add/Remove Programmes applet."
