Hallo All,
    I run Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus Toolkit Version 7.70 in Windows 3.11.  I 
have used Dr Solomon (besides McAfee) since Version 3 or 4.  I have always 
used the
TSR VirusGuard.
    In the past, on boot up, the active window has *always* been Program
Manager.
    However, with this version, the active "window" is VirusGuard and I 
cannot find a way to boot into the active window of Program Manager.
    I can see the entries the program has made in win or system.ini 
(whichever) 
>.................................................^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
but I don't know enough to be able to disable this unwanted behaviour.
    Can anyone tell me how I can do it, please?

    As I am sure you know, SYSEDIT.EXE brings up four files: AUTOEXEC.BAT, 
CONFIG.SYS, WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI.
    I know in which file the program has made an entry.  What I do not know 
is how to edit those entries in order to stop the offensive behaviour.
    Is there any other file in which the program may have made an entry?
