Thats what makes the world go round Malke...differences in opinion.(G)
BTW in my book it is different in Win98...one option to remove a program
from start..uncheck the program in Msconfig...nothing else , no warnings
, no selective startup to check, just uncheck and it doesn't start next
time you boot up, not quite the same in WinXP.(G)
I can well imagine compiling a program as being a more difficult PITA
process...but my beef is making a simple process into a more complicated
process all the while touting the who much better the upgrade is.(G)
Thanks for your comments, much appreciated.
