Msconfig will work 98% of the time its only if your using clever or malicious
software that it wont show up in msconfig so i think you should be ok using
lvees's help, also use google and search for a prog called hijackthis, it
find everything that you might not want running, to see what starts up look
for the apps with hkm//run next to them.
