Using MSconfig is like walking into a dark room with both hands tied behind your back. The fact that Chris suggest using Msconfig shows his lack of knowledge about Windows.
To manage startup entries use the Sysinternals tool "Autoruns".
Actually the tool is used for troubleshooting configuration problems. It is not meant for long term changes. Microsoft claims itself that msconfig "does not manage the programs that run when Windows starts."
Pirillo shows a lack of knowledge about what msconfig is for and I have no idea why you would argue against it. Autoruns by the way is a Sysinternals tool written by Mark Russinovich. It certainly has no malware.
While I agree that completely baseless and negative comments are annoying; I also think it is important to keep a healthy discourse where everyone shares their opinions :)
Hey Chris thanks for the help, this video was a great benefit for me. I don't know much about Win 7. When I went to it everything was checked so I have to restart computer to see how fast it boots up. It wasn't to bad before hand... then again quad processors are ftw.
I always disable my self installed programs except my IM services. Is they update windows 7 to load programs one by one startup would be infinitely faster. Even with only 2-3 programs starting up (self installed) at once it takes 5 or so minutes before my computer can be ran at a decent speed.
MS Config is one of better bits of software that Microsoft created for windows. I remember the days before this small APP. Regedit or sysedit anyone :)
Oh I know it is more a throw to the programmers of the software. I mean really there are tools I like started in the background. For instance anti viral software. And a few small group of programs I use allot. But I am in control here.
Burning software, unless you use it every few hours..doesn't needs background loading.
Yeah I used to use that software. Not anymore though. There are alternatives like infrarecorder that do the job just as well for what I use it to do. Nero's products are the most bloated resource hogs I've ever seen.
I agree there are leaner and better programs. Even free programs, in the past I would indeed say get Nero. But since it is a bloated program ..even getting to simply burning data [hello this is your standard function] takes 4-5 clicks!
yea i used that but it used up too many resources on the machine i was assisting and was laggy like hell then i switched to Teamviewer, works perfectly! and best of all its an encrypted connection :D
Yeah probably, many Mac fanboys out there, by the way, don't get a Core 2 Duo, save up a little more and get at least a Core 2 Quad, it will be a good investment. :)
What do you do with "you have used the system configuration utility..." message?
