Look in the WIN.INI file for two lines:
load=
run=
I think you will find what you need in run=, as that will start a program up
minimized. On your Thinkpad C:\THINKPAD\FUELWIN.EXE will be in that line as
well.
Please let's not start a OS war here again. I have answered the question,
let it die.

I recently installed Iomega's "Ditto" backup software on my 755CD. The
program has a "scheduler" and "instant backup" program intended to run in
the background. It works absolutely great and I was able to back up my
HD in only 2+ hours. Here's my problem, now.
I am not too "fluent" in Windows 3.1, so my question might appear
elementary. The damn Ditto software has created icons that appear at the
bottom of my screen at Windows bootup- as if they were minimized programs
that were started in the STARTUP window. Unfortunately, the programs
don't appear in the startup menu at all. I suspect that somewhere in
Windows 3.1 there a file, similar to a autoexec.bat file that loads
program items separately from the startup items in the startup program
group.
Could someone help me out here and tell me how to get rid of the damn
unrequested and unwanted items that now inhabit my screen? BTW- I've
been through every icon and program in the Ditto program group and cannot
find anything to "turn off" the damn icons there. I'm frustrated and sure
would appreciate some advice here.
