The included is an excerpt from the forum, . . I would appreciate some info. on how to use or download this, as I have gone to the site and clicked down load and need to know is it suppose to download to my computer or is the disply I see on the page about my computer ? I can't tell if that is an example of what the scan is suppose to look like or is it the actual scan?

Post #6 Forum Addict ****** Use Startup Inspector and see if you can find out what ap or process was giving you the problem: Startup Inspector (manages startup menu – helps you identify aps in the startup menu so you can disable unnecessary programs from running in the background when they are not needed) And Startup Monitor (a small freeware ap available on the same page to notify you and require your permission for any program to add itself to your startup menu) http://www.windowsstartup.com/download.php -------------------- Success is a result, not a goal . . .

Jove, once you've d/l the file you can run it. The window is then YOUR computer and what is loading/loaded at startup. Uncheck items that you don't need loaded at startup and your computer will load a little quicker but you can still use these programs by "clicking" them to open; that part will take a little longer since they haven't been preloaded during startup.
It's a nice little app. Luck be a lady tonight, Kal This post has been edited by kalpia: Aug 20 2008, 10:43 AM -------------------- To error is human, to forgive is against company policy

Let me make some time to look these over and do the d/l for inspector, and I'll let you know what happened, . . .
Funny thing, the fact that I have an untitled program in my startup list, started me out on this quest I unchecked it, but it came back, . . did I uncheck it wrong or what ? I unchecked it and I know I at least hit the OK button, I may not have hit the apply button ? -------------------- Success is a result, not a goal . . . Flaubert
