Both options display the Chkdsk dialog box. Chkdsk is disabled at startup. If you have multiple hard drives, you will see an entry for each hard drive. Randall Blackburn has worked for several Fortune companies as a technical writer over the past seven years.

No programs in the Startup folder will run, but the items will still remain there, so that they will start up as they would normally the next time you boot. The best tool for disabling hidden programs that run on startup is the System Configuration Utility, shown in Figure To run it, type msconfig at a command prompt and press Enter.
To stop a program from running at startup, go to the Startup tab in this utility and uncheck the box next to the program. It can sometimes be difficult to understand what programs are listed on the Startup tab.
Some, such as America Online, are clearly labeled. To get more information about a listing, expand the width of the Command column near the top of the Startup tab. The directory location should be another hint to help you know the name of the program.
So stop one and restart your PC. If it runs fine, then stop another and restart. So run each program that starts automatically, and see if you can find a setting that allow you to halt it from running on startup. You may also need to hack the Registry to disable them. The right pane will contain a list of some of the programs that automatically run at startup.
The Data field tells you the path and name of the executable so that you can determine what each program is. That will kill any programs that run specific to your logon. Constantly running in the background of XP are services—processes that help the operating system run, or that provide support to applications.
Many of these services launch automatically at startup. You can disable services at startup by using the System Configuration Utility, similar to the way that you halt programs from running at startup, except that you use the Services tab instead of the Startup tab.
A bigger problem is that disabling services is more of shot in the dark than disabling programs. When you disable a program, you can get a sense of what the program does. A better way of disabling services at startup is via the Services Computer Management Console, shown in Figure You will be able to disable any you don't want don't delete anything unless you are sure of what you are doing.
AutoRuns "This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more.
To disable an auto-start entry uncheck its check box. To delete an auto-start configuration entry use the Delete menu item or toolbar button. If you disable them, you will be able to re-enable them again if needed. These lists of top entries are based on the amount of views per entry.
Thank you and good luck! Request for Answer Clarification by perplexed-ga on 20 Nov PST Hi hummer-ga First, sincere apologies for long delay, -i've been away and just got back this evening.
