Oh I know how to look at and disable stuff in startup using msconfig, it's just I do not know what is necessary and what is not,a lot of the stuff in start up just consists of annonymous numbers and letters,I mean what does RTHDCPL.EXE mean? what does it do?will the machine work without it?,thats just one example, there's is also a hell of a lot of stuff running in services but again I haven't a clue what half of them are,
ooops sorry Mr robdesbois posted this before I looked at yer link,again that's a bit complicated, with "End it All" one just clicked on a icon and it shut down everything without the complication of asking if you wanted it shut down,it knew what was safe to shut down and what was not.
