Start Up List?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: BILLY-THE-FISH
Hi,
Not sure if this the right place to post this but...
I want to know what programs start when I first boot up?
My system seems to be a bit sluggish so i'd like to cut down on the number of progs. that run at boot up! I checked it before and i know you can't stop all programs but for the life of me I can't remember :blink: what i have to "Run" to see what starts at boot up?
Cheers

Then run the program, then click on 'config' then go to 'misc tools' then select 'generate startup log' then press 'yes' on the thing that pops up, then it makes and opens a startup log and it shows everything that starts up.

You must have Registry Crawler to easily modify your start up programs.

I'm pretty sure it's not recommended to use msconfig to play with what start's at boot.Msconfig is supposed to just be a fix it tool,through the process of elimination to find out the problem.Codestarter Start up is a good little freeware program that allows you to view/select what start's at boot.

no, you don't
msconfig works perfectly for disabling startup apps :)

Why can't I use msconfig to change my services?The reason is because with msconfig and Hardware Profiles, you can disable services that may be vital to boot your system. With the management console (services.msc) you cannot. Also, msconfig, while unchecking the box, is disabling the service.
The "Disable All" button also scares me. It should not even be there as no reason exists to justify disabling "everything."

@ clocker
The question was about programs at start instead of services, but I agree about using msconfig for this.I don't like the selective start up after making changes in msconfig.
I use Mike Lin's Startup control panel. (http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml)

I use regcleanr (http://shelbina-info.com/shots/regcleaner/readme.htm#Introduction)
to view and manage start-up progs, its also good for cleaning debris left by progs you deleted ;)
