ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Startup Inspector shows much more startup items than msconfig does; it also gives information on each known startup item ("Consult"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Disabling items via msconfig is not advised. Startup Inspector is a better choice, and removing the programs you do not want via add/remove programs is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
