System Configuration Utility Questions
I am running on Windows 98 second edition. I am not experiencing any
problems. I just discovered that in my System Configuration Utility (Run Msconfig) that on the General Tab the radio button for Selective Startup was set. I don't know or remember how, when, or for what reason that was done. I have several questions: 1. Should the radio button for Normal Startup be set?? 2. What was the result/impact of having Selective Startup set? Process System ini file and Win ini file were unchecked. On the Win ini tab, nothing was checked nor was anything on my System ini tab checked. I'd appreciate any guidance. TIA |

If AUTOEXEX and CONFIG exist, but are not needed / General / Selective Startup is the standard way of processing only those boot files that you need, viz. your Registry. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |
