I saves Startup Control in its own directory and put a shortcut to it on the desktop. Once you click that, the Startup (user) tab shows what your startup options are. Just check the ones you want to start there. Under the Services tab, check minilog and True Vector (for Zonealarm). The other stuff should not need changing in this case. The registry will be updated to start the appropriate services next time you re-boot. G.R. Hanson wrote: >No, I just downloaded it.
