I've never seen that! If you're talking about that ridiculous annoying monotonous MSCONFIG window that pops up after every boot after you've changed something in MSCONFIG, well that's typical "spastic" XP behavior. The only way to stop it is stop changing something in MSCONFIG, or hit "cancel" when it pops up after boot if you don't need to change anything in it again. Sometimes SpyBot's "TeaTimer" will let you know that this has been added to the Startup folder and you can deny it to keep it from showing up, but, sometimes TT will NOT notice it. If you're talking about something else, then I don't know.
Unchecking items under the Startup tab in MSCONFIG should be simple, everything should be plainly named along with the full path. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com > > Support-OrpheusComputing. com wrote: OS?

The one that says you have modified the startup and are in selective mode. I can't get rid of the message even tho I click Don't tell me this anymore and then say ok. It still comes back when the computer is restarted. On batch files I do not know how to do that. I also find it difficult to tell what you are turning off in the msconfig mode. -- LarryB K & L Electronics ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
