    That has to be some kind of record, even for Boards.ie - three answers at the same time. :)

    Damn you Ruu and your speedy typing.

    What version of Windows are you using?

    Startup Control Panel will do the job for you if you cant find msconfig.

    edit: just found out it wasnt included in Windows NT or 2000 (you can download the Windows XP version).

    Agree. Great piece of software. Excellent for adding startup items too.

    Spybot S&D has a good startup manager too under advanced options.

    Startup Inspector is another 1. Lets you know if they should be turned off or not.
