I just downloaded this program to my machine that I picked up from:

www.windowsstartup.com

It shows you all the junk that loads during startup with a discription of each thing. Man my computer is running like a greased pig....fantastic!

Just thought I'd share...

PS

It's FREE...

 

go to Run on the start menu
type in msconfig
the tab on the right does the exact same thing dont have to download any program to do it

 

Um, I don't want to sound like I'm a nerd, but Windows 2000 doesn't do that.

Besides, I use HijackThis and Regedit to do my dirty work...

 

good point, thats a feature in Windows XP only so far.

 

nay...it started in Win98
It was not in 2000 but it CAN be used if you copy it over from XP

now I'm the nerd around here

 

My husband does "computer cleaning" on occasion- Dumping all the spyware, adaware & oops I didn't mean to click that what did I download etc for others who are not computer literate.
Its freagging hilarious when he does this for people who pretend in public to be holier than thou and look down on everywhere else(but if they have a checkbook, to pay doesn't matter if we despise em.)........then he cleans it out and the reason the computer is so junked up is all the pornography and other filth they have downloaded. :nono: Gives new meaning to "holy roller"
