Start Up

[Guest JohnK]

I have gone into Run and then msconfig and msconfig.exe and unchecked items

I don't want to start up when I boot. When I reboot, I get a message asking

if I want to start up in Utility or normal. When I select Normal Start Up,

these items are checked again and appear when I reboot.

 

How do I get rid of these items permanently in a normal startup?

brief tutorial with some good information on removing the entries that the program finds.

RE: Start Up

 

Msconfig really isnt the utility for doing that,however when the pop-up

starts,

locate & check "Dont show again"...Also,for services running,go to run,type:

services.msc In msc,locate the service(s),double click,set

to:Disable/Manual/

or Auto run.These edits stay as you leave them on every start-up....

Re: Start Up

 

In my experience msconfig is the thing to use to do this. You are likely to

get a message next time you boot up offering to reverse the changes and it

can take some determination on your part to stop this; Microsoft think they

know what's best for you, don't they!!

Excellent info. Thank you.

 

I tried searching the internet for this type of info and struck out. I also

couldn't figure out how to search the MS Newsgroups for answers to

questions.
