The easiest way is to add a shortcut to the program required to your
startup folder. By default on a single user PC, C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp. Incidentally I feel you may have pared your startup list a little too much and should perhaps have left the two PowerProfile entries as each runs for just a fraction of a second as the PC boots during which time they make important configuration settings. Similarly by removing TaskMon you are now unable to optimise the placement of files when running Defrag. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Ben B wrote: In msconfig my startup group is pared to: ScanRegistry SystemTray AVG7_CC AVG7_EMC AVG7_AMSVR Run StartupMonitor *StateMgr I wish to learn how to add a program to that list.

I concur with Mike, Ben B, and suggest that you review:
Startup Configuration for Program Launching Use Start - Run - MSCONFIG and go to the Startup tab. Compare the listing there with the following Startup checklists: http://www2.whidbey.com/djdenham/Uncheck.htm http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.htm http://www.3feetunder.com/krick/startlist.htm - has trojan related items listed http://www.answersthatwork.com/Taskl...s/tasklist.htm Note: Please ensure that you fully understand the purpose of a startup item, how and why it was put into the startup, and the consequences (if any) of removing it before you make any changes. Some items are very important for the proper and safe functioning of your computer, including at least one item that is listed twice, LoadPowerProfile. Ron Martell Duncan B.C.

Hello Jack,
The links are appreciated. The list I gave Mike is as exists in my msconfig and will, I hope, be filled-out as is recommended. Should I have a problem, or when it is done, I will post back.
