to all ... from time to time I stumble upon a good shareware program, but neglect to post it here .. made a NewYear Resolution to start doing better ..... gggg here is a lil dandy (FREE) that I've been using for a month or so and have installed it on several friends boxes ... I thought so much of it I even sent the guy a PayPal donation. it is the best startup program I've come across .. quick, easy, and cheap ... good explanations and accurate try it .. I think you ALL will like it <A HREF="http://www.windowsstartup.com/" target="_blank">http://www.windowsstartup.com/</A> I've only tried the Inspector one so far.. Nemer
