Is there a msconfig startup utility?

[Guest]

Is there a program that can turn on and off items in the msconfig startup tab?
I have a setup that requires me to de select some of them and restart the
machine and then re select them again and then restart again. example: lets
say I want to encode mpeg videos without norton antivirus running. I have to
wait for the machine to shut down and restart. and then to turn norton back
on I have to re-enable them and wait for the machine to start again.
I have the "startup" utility. but once you deselect items they are no longer
present when I boot back up to re-enable them.

msconfig. Or, have fun in the registry.

I have a setup that requires me to de select some of
them and restart the machine and then re select them again and then

norton antivirus running. I have to wait for the machine to shut down
and restart.

Well, you could just stop the relevant Windows services.

and then to turn norton back on I have to re-enable them
and wait for the machine to start again.

longer present when I boot back up to re-enable them.

If you're using msconfig, they should still be there, unchecked.

Thanks for reply. there is nothing wrong with msconfig. I just thought maybe
there was a way to disable items and re-enableing them without waiting for
the machine to restart.

thanks

In Spybot there is a tool to do just that. It is in the tools section
and it is called System Startup. BTW Spybot is freeware and has a lot
of great utilities in it.
