Question I know this is simple to do - but I'm thick!

Just reloaded Lotus Smartsuite on my PC - MS Office won't load because it sees another MSOffice on the HD (which I can't access, but thats another problem!)

Anyway, all the Lotus programs start up when logging on and the taskbar fills up with shortcut icons!! Pain in the rear end!

How do I STOP it starting like that and filling the taskbar?

Yes, did attempt to delete them from there - but they seem to be the actual programs (so I chickened out!)

or type "msconfig" in the run bit, and click the startup tab and un-click the program's clicky box?
