I would like to evaluate my startup files but cannot find a way to print the
actual listing. Is there a way to print the listing showing actual file
name, location on hard drive and so forth.

Thanks,

Jim T

Jim, why don't you right click the startup folder in the start>programs menu
and choose explore all users and or explore?

thanks

You can copy the list from Hijack This and paste it to a notepad document
and print it though I don't know of any other specific utility that will do
this for you.

Sorry, guess I wasn't clear. I wish to copy or print a list of all the files
that appear when one runs msconfig. I want to research and see just what
each program runs at startup.

Thanks,

The true technician's friend ;) As for borrowing it? Certainly, I have a
few. You can keep it but you have to promise to call it nice names and treat
it well.

Just as an aside, Google each process name by it's name. As in if it's
application.exe search specifically for application.exe and you'll get a LOT
of hits if it's an even remotely popular legitimate application.

It was just additional advice that you could/should Google each process name
exactly and you'll find out if the application is one that you want to use
or not. If you just type in application.exe (replace it to be the exact name
of the file in question) it will popup and tell you at one site or another
what it is. Chances are also good that if it doesn't show up in the search
that it's something you don't want to have running.
