great! i always used the power toys for win95 and win98. here's some more XP stuff: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/expert/northrup_restore perf.mspx examine autostart programs using the Autoruns freeware tool from Sysinternals. Autoruns lists every program that will automatically start and allows you to quickly delete the link to the program. http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/autoruns.shtml Many autostart entries are important parts of Windows XP, including Userinit.exe and Explorer.exe. So you should not simply delete everything that you don't recognize. Instead, you should look up each entry at Paul Collins' Startup Applications List to determine whether you want it to start automatically: http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php here is info on MSCONFIG and Registry ... and a downloadable list of autostart progs that can be run offline: http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php#THE_PROGRAMS i finally was able to eliminate a few persistant autorun progs. -ts- ------------------------ Yahoo!
