Re: MSConfig Cleanup

No.  MSConfig Cleanup (the program) will not clear all the items in your MS 
Config file.  You don't ever want to clear all the items in your MSConfig 
file.
MSConfig cleanup will only remove the items that you have disabled 
(unchecked in MSConfig) but remain in the list in MSConfig.
Okay now I am going to confuse you even more, smile.
If you want to use something to enable and disable items in MSConfig, you 
can use something like Starter, or Start Up Manager, both of which I have on 
the programs page at JFWLite.  And there are helpful hints for them on the 
helpful hints page.
These programs give you more information and more control over ALL the items 
in the MSConfig utility.
Actually including the ability to delete items.
But, MSConfig Cleanup only shows disabled items in the MSConfig utility and 
is a quick and easy way to remove those items.

Debbie,

I just want to learn how to use that program.  As I understand,  the program 
will clear all items in my MS Config file.  Now, at least, I have  its 
background.

Regards,

Roden

  Okay, I want to make sure that people understand this.
  MSConfig (from the run men) is used to uncheck the items you don't want to
  run at start up.
  But even when you do this, the item remains in the MSConfig list.
  MSConfig cleanup (the program), is used to remove these left over entries
  from the MSConfig list.
  Now to your question.  It won't affect your antivirus from loading in any
  way unless you purposely uncheck your antivirus application in MSConfig. 
I
  don't know why you would want to do that though.  The only things that are
  affected are the things you uncheck in MSConfig.  And those are the only
  items that will show up in the MSConfig cleanup program.

  Hello Debbie!

  Would there be any problem if I'm going to clear my Ms. Config?

  If I'm going to clear my Ms. Config, does my anti virus will not load 
after
  I start my windows and same with the other programs?

    Jerry, do you mean the MSConfig Cleanup program itself?  When I tab I 
only
    hear the buttons and a listview.  I selected all the text in the virtual
    viewer and I got the following.  I'm not sure what you mean by what the
  menu
    entries do.  There is no menu in the progam.

        Hello Debbie.

    I agree with you about all the junk in msconfig. In fact, when Tracy at
    Freedom Scientific and I wer trouble-shooting a problem I was having, I
    was quite surprised to find I could turn off everything I had in there.

    One question, at the top of the window it gives a web address
    purportedly to check what those menu entries do. I copied it with the
    Jaws cursor only to find it was the home page. Am I wrong in how I read
    that?

    Thanks for bringing this one up.
    Jerry

    I know that there are some of you out there who are as obsessive
    compulsive
    as I am, smile, because you have written me about this before.  You can
    delete these entries from your registry.  But I just found a freeware
    program that does it and is jaws friendly.

    MSConfig Cleanup
    MSConfig is a small and helpful tool. It allows you
    disable programs which are starting with Windows.
    Unfortunately you can only disable items but they
    remain in the list. MSConfig Cleanup lets you remove
    the residue!
