Is msconfig redundant? I see Microsoft's userinit logon and iexplore in the
Defender startup when I go to Control Panel/Change startup items. They are
both 'permitted' even though the buttons (enable/disable/remove) are all
greyed out (after clicking show for all). But I don't see these in msconfig
startup.
 
Hi,

Sort of, yes. It just covers certain startup areas, generally those that are
system wide, but not all of them, particularly those that are specific to
one user account.
