I am interested in helping others, not pursuing the topic with you

because it is obvious your mind is closed. You have your views and are

not receptive to the views of others. That's the way it is with you and

nothing I can say will produce any change.

Correct, I didn't state the contrary but emphasized user-friendliness,

versatility and the educational advantage over msconfig thus making

AutoRuns a better tool to work with.

Yes, but this is not unique to AutoRuns.

None of these utilities are 'completely safe'! Inexperienced users should

familiarize themselves with this utility prior engaging their clicking

finger; which really applies to all configuration tools.

This thread is a perfect illustration of "Gerry's Law": If you don't agree

with me then your mind is closed.

Very succinct and correct!
