There must be 2 different Country's because in this post it sounds like
'Country' is trying to have both Noraml and Selective startup options in
use.
And, not that this really matters, but I don't understand why anyone would
want to use Normal startup, instead of selective. If I use Noraml, the
number of things loading at startup are incredible, and all it does is make
my initial startup procedure very lengthy. but I guess that's what makes us
individuals.

[Copied and pasted from another thread in the ms/basics forum,]

I do not believe the information is detailed or correct-as if you go to
msconfig you get the option of normal startup or selective--if you go to the
startup tab and uncheck the Kodak programs -hit apply -it does nothing--as
when you start up again in normal start mode the programs will reload.


If you
select selective startup--then uncheck the Kodak prog. in the startup
tab--it
will remove them but you will get msg from Windows that you changed the
start
and ask you if you want to keep that or not---if you say dont show the msg
and keep the selective startup--

the programs will not start at Windows
opening. ==but if you go back and select Normal start they will restart
again.


I have been trying to get rid of the Easyshare from starting using
Normal startup--but so far cannot do so. I did not want to keep using the
Selective startup. Why Kodak does this is ??? another problem with Xp is
that
all accounts will encounter the same problem plus if they do not have
administrative privileges they cannot use all of the Easyshare
features-Kodak
is not user friendly
