MSConfig Help Needed

[Guest]

My system was taking too long to load windows, and I noticed I had mulitple
processes running for the same program. In msconfig, my system configuration
utility, I noticed I had multiple instances of many files loading.

I know I can uncheck the, but is there a way to remove the duplicates from
the startup tab? All the duplicates have the same file location and registry
entry.

Thanks.

I would look a little further into this situation. Just because multiple
processes are running the same program does not mean that they are all doing
the same thing.

I have been in the registery and only one instance is listed for the multiple
items listed in the Startup page of MSConfig.

As an example, I don't need 6 instances of DellMMKB running. After
unchecking the duplicate files, XP boots normally now. All I want to do is
remove them from the lest so XP doesn't give me the windows is running a
Selective Startup message box.
