Msconfig ?

[yoga]

Hi, mates,
From time to time I check my computer(s) what programs are loaded at its start. I use Windows Me, XP and 7.
For this purpose-Start-Run-them write msconfig-in open window I click on Startup.
But while the word msconfig in Me is preserved, in XP and 7 I have again and again write it. This is embarrassing.
Any idea?
Thanks

8 keystrokes are a problem for you ....?
:rolleyes:

8 keystrokes .... sometimes you need a 1000+ keystrokes to make one of your posts in 'Abandonia games discussion'.
:hysterical:

Win7
You'll find msconfig in c:\windows\system32\
Use that one to create a shortcut.

Dear Dosraider;

YOU know that I am lazy beggar. :smile2: And I am not the only one.
Second: Let count-
1 Click on Start +
2 Click on Run +
8 (msconfig) = 10+
11 Enter

I am joking of course.:smile2:

Now seriously: Danke, Dosrider.
I did the shortcuts and now is very handy.

thankful yoga

You're welcome, you lazy yoga.
:lol:

But if you really want to know what's running on your PC you'll need something better than msconfig.
You'll need autoruns, one of the best sys softs that's around.

However, a warning, you can screw things up with that prog if you don't really know what you're doing, just saying.
