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

It's a great registry editor / cleaner, alows to monitor your start up list and has many more good features.
Download Hijack This from here http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/
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.
I get these wicked drawings from a site called garvgraphix.com it's updated monthly!! :DQuote:

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'tQuote:

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.
I use regcleanr
to view and manage start-up progs, its also good for cleaning debris left by progs you deleted ;)
I use this too. It's excellent! ;)Quote:
