Unfortunately, not all of them include the MSConfig utility (WinME & Win2000 immediately come to mind). For folks running one of those, I recommend Startup Control Panel, which is a free add-on Control Panel applet designed to give you control over what starts up when booting up Windows. You'll find it at the following site. Be sure to thoroughly read the instructions for installing it. :O) http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml Peace, GMan "The only dumb questions are the ones that are never asked!" -- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
