    Get a copy of Autoruns ..far more comprehensive.

    You can hide essential microsoft entries to be safe.

    Click the logon tab to see whats running on start up , and you can right click to check on line ,to see if you need it running.

    ....does indeed look comprehensive:)

    Oh! How I miss the Run box and using misconfig now that I am on Vista! - What's the score with Vista guys - can I do similar on this OS?:confused:

    Start Button, Properties, Start Menu and Customize. Scroll down, until you find Run Command and tick the box.:)
