Subject: (Audio-tips) A Program for managing your Msconfig Startup


> I found a nice little utility called regrun296.  It helps you keep track
of
> what is happening with your startup and registry.
>
> While I haven't had time to explore all the facets of the program, my
> favorite is the ability to remove things from the startup of msconfig and
to
> enable a warning when a program tries to slap itself in startup.
>
> When a program, such as Real Download, Real Audio, or Microsoft Office,
> tries to add itself to the startup, this program pops up a warning that
the
> changes have been made.  You have the choice of accepting the change or
> rejecting it, restoring your startup to normal.
>
> It can also run your anti-virus on the startup programs.
>
> After initial configuration, you are placed in a screen with multiple
> property sheets.  You will find a list of all the programs in your
startup.
> There is a screen for executables and a screen for lnk files.
>
> I had to label the graphics to read "checked" and "unchecked" but this was
> easy because all the checked items were at the top and all the unchecked
> were at the bottom, just listen for the graphic number to change.  I also
> ran the auto-graphics labeler.
>
> When you find a file you would like to disable, jus tpress the spacebar
and
> select pause.  You can select "off" and it will remove it from your
startup
> list completely.
>
> All of the aspects of this program are accessible and the shift + F1 help
> has been added to nearly every feature.
>
> It is shareware, if you want to purchase it after a 30 day trial, it is
> $19.95 but after installing a couple programs and having it notify me with
> such efficiency, I happily invested!
>
> If you want to try it out, you can download it from my website at
> http://www.accesstechnologyinstitute.com/dl/regrun296.exe.
>
> Be sure to use the shift + F1 and to label those little graphics.
