MSCONFIG Query

[Chrome Boy]

Hello Group.
Having read a note a couple of months ago on a newsgroup about msconfig I decided to have a look at my own configuration.
I bought this computer three years ago this month and mainly use it for e-mail and music.
When I first bought it I went mad and tried just about every cd writer/copier on the market.
It turned out that the one supplied with the computer (Sonic Recordnow) is the one I like best and use all the time.
I also installed at regular intervals various screensavers.
As I grew bored with the writers and the savers I uninstalled them via there own programs or through add/remove.

Now almost three years on I typed in msconfig and found references to two programs that I no longer have.
On the winini tab there is a tick in a box that says CloneCD.
There is also a tick in a box that says boot which has a sub box that says SCRNSAVE.EXE=Monica Bellucci.scr.
Its years since I used either of those programs and no longer have copies of them. They are not found when I do a search.
What happens if I untick the boxes or disable them.
Do I have to do anything or shall I just leave them.
Hope that makes sense

Hello
Thanks for the reply.
I went to the site. Downloaded the file. Ran it and nothing happened.
I manually disabled/unticked the two boxes.
Restarted the computer and got a message from the config toolbox utility
saying I had NOT started up in normal mode.
I ticked the boxes. Restarted the computer and it is okay but I still have
ticks against programs I don't have.
John
