Cleaninf msconfig | startup
I'd like a referral to a site which lists and describes some of the myriad
of items which end up in msconfig | start. I Googled "msconfig startup files", but as usual, only get a series of offers to buy registry tampering file from who knows whom. -- PT |

You would do better to leave msconfig alone. Using Auto runs is a better way to proceed. Use Autoruns to find any unwanted start ups! http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys.../Autoruns.mspx With Autoruns you can uncheck an item, which disables it from starting, or you can can right click an item and then delete it. If you uncheck you can recheck to re-enable the item. It is a much safer approach than editing the Registry. Another useful feature of the programme is that you can right click an item and select Search Online to get information about the item selected. -- Hope this helps.

The myriad of entries are, in nearly all cases, apps that you have installed
and failed where it is posible to select / deselect the option to start with win. "PT" wrote in message ...

You can get more information about these at http://castlecops.com/StartupList.html. If you can't find it there, try google searches (on the names of the startup files, not "msconfig startup files") and ask about specifics here. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

Open each of the programs in the Notification Area/System Tray and turn off the option to run at startup, except for the ones your really use or your anti-virus and anti-spyware. -- Frank Saunders MS-MVP IE,OE/WM www.fjsmjs.com Do not reply with email |

Try Autoruns from the MS Windows SysInternals site:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys.../Autoruns.mspx AutoRuns will show/list all apps/etc. that load/run when you first boot (Boot Execute tab), when you logon (Logon tab) and other programs that load (grouped by labeled tabs) for easy viewing. It also provides the ability to selectively allows you to stop (use with care) any program that you don't want to load. You can undo any changes you have made. Note: To get additional details on an item in the list you may need to highlight the item (right click) and use the 'Search Online' option to get the details, especially useful for the more obscure items in the list.
