XP Selective Startup shortcut?

[bluelizardman]

Is there a way to save the msconfig configurations with a shortcut? So
I can reboot the system according to a gaming shortcut. Or a music
shortcut for different uses for that session? The MSConfig Is
cumbersome!

Instead of a shortcut, I use a separate hardware profile for gaming...

A: Setup Hardware Profile for Gaming
Control Panel / System
Hardware Tab / Hardware Profiles button
Copy Profile 1 and rename it Gaming Profile
Leave Profile 1 at the top of the list
Set to Select the first profile in 5 seconds

B: Disable Services for Gaming.
Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services
For each service you want disabled do the following:
Right Click / Properties / Log On Tab
Click on Gaming Profile / click Disable Button
Click Apply but Do NOT disable for Profile 1

Cheers,
Jimmy.
