I have a couple of programs which I don't particularly want to run on
strat-up.
So I went into MS Config and deselected them on the Start Up tab. Now when
I boot the computer I get a message with the heading "System Configuration
Utility", which says (among other things:
"The System Configuration Utility is currently in Diagnostic or Selective
Startup mode, causing this message to be displayed and the utility to be run
every time Windows starts. Choose the normal startup mode to start Windows
normally and undo the changes you made using the SCU"
All I want to know is why it is telling me to select Normal, when under
W98SE this was one of the accepted ways of stopping programs running at
startup. Does it matter if I ignore it and keep these programs deselected?
TIA.
