Using Hjt Or Msconfig To Stop Startups
martymas replied to shanenin's topic in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP
the reason pete chappy rema preston was aginst it was many came on the board and recommended to use msconfig for certain purposes they contended if you used it successfully not so well informed users didnt and got into to trouble and guess where they turned for help yes the board i remember many boards were flooded with msconfig troubles just on the say so of a few so if you use it ok but dont recommend it to new users the board is the one thats has to pick up the tab not all is adept as some of you marty -
Using Hjt Or Msconfig To Stop Startups

msconfig was put there so the techs could tweak the compt they sold that is the reason it was hidden and not put in the front so all could use it even microsoft warns any new users from going there may be it is ok for you but if you advertise the fact it is usable new users wil get in to trouble i know iv been there if you think its an old wives tale tell your wife that and not some one who is not used to the utility marty -

et's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither fromGuinea nor is it a pig.
