I usually get rid of almost everything in msconfig under startup though if I
don't know what something is I google it and find out. I know a lot of
things are advised you don't disable it but I find things run a lot better
if almost everything is disabled. All that comes up in mine is my printer
utility though I'm going to try disabling that because I think when I turn
on the printer that will come up anyway, my anti virus software, and my pop
up blocker, and jaws. Beyond that, everything else is disabled.
