jugalboro , thanks, but I am familiar with msconfig, I just have a problem figuring out - 1, which programs the abbreviations used on some of the entries are referring to, and -2, if those particular programs are actually needed or not for my system to run as usual without me having to figure out how to open what I need if it's not running.
Thanks for your help!!!
StartupLite
- Download StartupLite by MalwareBytes to your Desktop.
- Doubleclick StartupLite.exe to launch the program.
- Ensure the Disable box is checked.
- Click Continue.
- A pop up message will tell you the unecessary startup items in your list have been disabled and ask you to restart your computer.
- Re-start your computer.

Anything not listed in StartUp Lite needs to be determined by you if it needs to run at startup or not. MSCONFIG is primarily meant to be used for troubleshooting only. A good startup manager is http://www.majorgeeks.com/StartUp_d4436.html Run it, right click anything you don't want running at startup and choose Remove.
Thanks once again evilfantasy!!!
That works great. It disabled several programs on start-up that I didn't even realize were running, and non of them is needed for what I normally used. You have once again proven to be an excellent help for me and I very much appreciate it.
Hat's of to you and CHF. :)
BTW: I still use Malwarebytes full version and am very satisfied. Thanks for recommending it to me. ;)
