I HATE programs that install systray icons without asking
Me too.Also, programs which auto-start never ever use the Start > Programs > Startup folder
I can't remember the last time something used that root
Noooo. They instist on hiding themselves deeply in the registry so you end up hacking away with RegEdit hoping not to stuff the O/S up on next reboot
And why why why did MS give developers 32 ways of starting up a program from boot?
