Enter ‘regedit.exe’. press [Enter], and start the Registry Editor. Click ‘Continue’ if asked by the User Account Control {UAC}. Under XP on, click ‘Start|Run’. Type ‘regidit’, and press [Enter] to open the Registry Editor. No security query is asked. In the tree structure of the editor, browse to the ‘HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications’ key on the left pane. Here, select the sub-keys for the applications that you do not want to appear on the start list. Finally, right – click anywhere on the right pane of the Registry Editor and select ‘New|Strong value’. Overwrite the name suggested by Windows with ‘NoStartPage’. You do not need to assign any value to the character string – its existence alone has the desired effect. After you restart Windows, the program will not appear in the list. If you later want to consider the program as one of the most frequently used applications, deleted the ‘NoStartPage’ string.
