Tracy responded to my post on msconfig and reminded me of Mike Lin’s Startup Control Panel. Now - first of all - although I haven’t tried this software (I’m going to *real soon now*), I have downloaded it. It’s been around for a while. Secondly, anyone who is 18 years old and writing software like this is pretty smart. Unlike msconfig, Startup Control Panel separates each startup location on to a different tab, making it much easier to see exactly which location is causing the program you hate to start with Windows. And the size is a whopping 59 kb - or 34 kb in the stand alone EXE version! I don’t know if it runs in DOS - but it’s certainly small enough to fit on a DOS boot floppy. Thanks, Tracy!
