XP start up program disabling
Could anyone explain to me how to turnoff programs in XP that automatically
start when you boot the computer. Older versions of Windows allowed for this in an easy way. I can find the list of programs that automatically start up when XP boots, but there is no allowance to turn specific start-up programs on-or-off....How does one do this with XP? Thanks for the help and support irzapper 02/12/05 |

XP start up program disabling
Start-run-msconfig [enter]
Go to the startup tab and uncheck what you want to disable. Use care that you don't disable essential things. Avoid the services tab like the plague unless you fully understand how to restore disabled services from either recovery console or other tool or have a full state backup if you disable the wrong thing. -- Walter Clayton Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

SNIP also, before un-checking a program to start with MSConfig, look within the program itself, usually under preferences or options, for an option to load when windows starts. disable it here first. if there is none, then disable its startup in MSConfig. |

Another convenient way to do the same is with the free program "Startup
Control Panel" from Mike Lin [www.mlin.net]. "DanS" wrote in message ... "Walter Clayton" wrote in : Start-run-msconfig [enter] Go to the startup tab and uncheck what you want to disable.
