Hi
I personally don't like using the msconfig, because of the
messages you mention. I found a really useful start up
utility and a start up monitor on the website below. The
start up utility either can be run just by clicking the
start up exe file file or you can install it and it sits in
the control panel and you can run it from there. You have
several different pages of start up options you can turn off
or on just by selecting them and you do this by using the
space bar. You can rotate through the various pages of
things you can turn off by using ctrl tab. Have a look, it
is really good. I use hal screen reader and the start up
utility is very accessible.
The start up monitor alerts you if something is trying to
run or change your registry, i.e. if you install a new
program, it will ask you if you want such and such to run on
system start up. You just press yes or no.

Subject: [access-uk] System configuration
Hi all -
I used MSConfig on my XP machine to see what was running at
start up, and
unchecked 4 things: 'registry cleaner'; a couple of items
pertaining to
PCSuite, and one pertaining to 'Anapod'[ipod shuffle
software]
Now when I boot up, I get the following message:
"You have used the system configuration utility to make
changes to the way
the system starts. The system configuration utility is
currently in
diagnostic or selective start up mode causing this message
to be displayed,
and the utility to run every time Windows starts. Choose the
normal start up
on the general tab to start Windows normally and undo the
changes you made
using the system configuration utility"
Then there is an unchecked check box saying: "don't show
this message
again, or launch the system configuration utility when
Windows starts"
What bothers me, is that the "normal start up" on the
general tab, says for
Windoes to load all drivers etc at start up; so will making
these simple
changes cause anything else not to be loaded at start up, it
seems unlikely,
but then again, why do I get this warning message, just
because I've stopped
a couple of programmes launching at start up?
It's probably nothing to worry about, but these warning
messages scare me a
bit!
Thanks -
Andy
