I have the same attitude toward these things (it does the same
thing in WIndows 95). Perhaps I dislike them more since the product
doesn't work on my TP 700C and there is no uninstall for the
software.
However, it is easy to do what you want. In Win95, you can right
button the icon and a menu which include "close" comes up; there
should be something similar in Win 3. If you want to stop it from
starting up, look in \windows\win.ini for something like
LOAD=D:\QBWIN\DITTO.EXE
That's the line that is starting it up automatically.
I don't know why they needed to do that.
