I notice that when I'm on System Configuration Utility on general that I see selective startup and these are the ones that are check for that, process Config.sys file,process Autoexec.bat file,process system.ini file,process win.ini file, and load startup groups items, and this one appears not to be checked because it does not allow me to check it process Winstart.bat file.

My question is I think I know why those are check for that is because I edited the startup list the programs I want toauto startup on windows and uncheck the ones that I do not want to autostartup push apply restart computer ect.

But the ones I see check is it's the same if I check Normal startup-Load all device drivers and software. Because I don't understand that I tryed it before I check box normal startup I reboot go back there and see everything on startup list and watch everything run at startup again, I also see in the list everything checked all items in the list, And if I uncheck 1 of them then I see in the general that all these names are check and its not on normal startup, So does everything startup like before just the programs that I uncheck don't want to autostart up. Whats the differences I guess I should say.

First...

If Winstart.bat if not enabled if because you machine donot have one winstart.bat file on Windows directory.

I use WIn98 a lot off, and MSCONFIG to and in general work well, there are others sites where you need to search for disable a program, but if some program (like WE-BLOCKER.COM is a proxy protector) if he see you manualy disable he reinsert a line to it... even on reboot

Then maybe the question must be what program you like to disable and mybe can help you...

I hope this help...

So you trying to say it's a normal startup on my windows 98 se, even with the names I typed out are check because if I check normal startup then it loads everything that runs on startup example : realplayer I disable that in realplayer opitions but I also uncheck it System Configuration Utility/Startup.

I know alot of programs like to auto startup from reboot there are opitions from that program to disable it or delete the icon name on startup from start/programs/startup or go to System Configuration Utility/ startup and uncheck which one you don't want to load up each time you start pc..

you want to save yourself alot of headache,download REGCLEANER 4.3 at
www.jv16.org/ ,this is the best of the best for dealing with the registry.
don't waste your time on regedit or system config utility.
Whenever you uninstall a program,whether with add/remove or the programs uninstaller,it rarely removes all of the programs files. your left with folders in the program files ,dll files ,shell extensions.
REGCLEANER helps you find all the left behind shit & will remove it & also makes a backup of it incase you shouldn't have removed it letting you restore it .regedit & sysconfig don't do this.
but you should read the help files first it's a powerfull program.

forgot to mention it also lets you decide which program runs at startup.you'll also see everything in your sys, old programs you thought you removed programs you didn't know you had.if you see then REGCLEANER CAN ROMOVE THEM.
