Hi Since some items in the config are so strangly named, how you know what's what?

Hi Marsha, Unless you are extremely familiar with your system, you don't. I have found this on my systems though, if the item is located in c:\program files, it's a safe bet it does not need to run at startup. I believe David has some web addresses on the website pertaining to this.

Good stuff Rick. Thank you cousin Rick. I sincerely appreciate the help. If I just delete the items from the Startup folder, that will help. Is that correct? I'll take the other things step by step. This thing is moving like a drunken turtle.

There may be shortcuts there that can be eliminated. Next, if these programs are showing up in the system tray, select them one at a time , and see if you can get a context menu. This may allow you to change the startup properties of the application. If no go there, open each application, and look under items such as, tools, options, settings etc. If none of these options work, then you will need to use msconfig. In that case, type the following in the run dialogue: msconfig When msconfig opens, go to the startup tab, and uncheck the items you don't want to start. Apply your changes, and close the msconfig, and re-boot the machine. When the machine re-starts, you will have a dialogue telling you that you have made changes to your system... Tab to the checkbox, not to show this dialogue anymore, and then tab to okay, and hit enter. You are done.

I have a question which combines both the use of Jaws and Windows XP. It seems I have a lot of useless junk starting up when I turn on my computer. Does anyone know a quick and relatively painless way of finding those programs and relegating them to the use only when require status? Naturally, I'm going to have to do this with Jaws. I'm sure that there's a way but I can't remember where to go. You wouldn't believe the junk. I have things like Napster and Real Player starting when I don't need them for normal operation. Enough said, I think. Thanks in advance for any help that can be given.

If I may jump in here, the answer is yes. Deleting items from the startup folder is a good start for sure. Everything Rick told you yesterday John is correct.
