Msconfig (Microsoft System Configuration Utility) is a
small tool included with most Windows Operating
Systems which allows you to enable or disable auto-
start Programs and Services. When you type Msconfig
into the Run box it opens the program allowing you to
stop unnecessary programs from always starting with
Windows. However it does not allow you to completely
remove an entry from the list. It only removes the
check from the box leaving a useless entry in your
Registry. This is where MsConfig Cleanup Utility can
help. It scans the startup configurations and allows
you remove any or all items that have been previously
disabled using the Msconfig tool.

Note to Windows 95 and 2000 users:
Windows 95 and 2000 did not include the Msconfig
utility but the ones for 98 and XP will work for those
systems and are also available for download on the
MsConfig Cleanup Utility web page.
