Re: msconfig

vivienrose1,

For me it's any application that needs attention after windows starts
without user intervention. For instance, my Virus Scanner's internet monitor
or Microsoft's Antispyware monitors or a Popup blocker. Also, my Yahoo POP3
e-mail app for Outlook Express (YPops) and my IEMaximizer for IE. That's it.
I use MSWord & Adobe Acrobat every day but don't need either to startup
until I click a document to open.
You should evaluate each of your installed applications and ask yourself,
'can I still use this normally if it didn't start up on boot. You'll find
there aren't many that do, at least I don't.

I heard that there is actually only 7 programs needed in the startup, when
you type msconfig and go to secelective startup. My computer takes
forever
to get booted up, can anyone help me what programs for startup are needed?

Thank you
